Gardiki Castle was a medieval fortress and settlement in southern Arcadia, Greece.

History

Gardiki existed as a settlement before the 13th century. Its name, which derives from a Slavic term for "small fort", demonstrates the naturally fortified nature of the site, even before the construction of the castle.Шаблон:Sfn The castle of Gardiki was built sometime after 1284, and was in Byzantine hands by 1297, when the Princess of Achaea, Isabella of Villehardouin, constructed the fortress of Chateneuf to protect the inhabitants of the plains of Messenia and Arcadia from the raids of the Byzantine troops based in the region around Gardiki and Mystras.Шаблон:Sfn Indeed, it is likely that the castle was built by the Byzantines, as it is not recorded that it was ever held by the Latins of Achaea.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1374, the new bailli (viceroy) of the Principality of Achaea, Francis of San Severino, attacked Gardiki, captured the village and defeated a Byzantine relief force, but was unable to capture the strongly fortified castle and had to withdraw.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1422, the Republic of Venice considered taking over the two fortresses, along with much of what remained of the Principality of Achaea and parts of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, as part of a defensive alliance to protect the Morea from the Ottoman Empire, but nothing came of the negotiations with the local Latin and Greek leaders.Шаблон:Sfn As a result, when the Ottomans under Turahan Bey invaded the Morea in 1423, several towns, including Gardiki, were captured and pillaged.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1460, during the Ottoman conquest of the Morea, the population of the town of Leontari sought refuge in the Castle of Gardiki. The castle, commanded by Manuel Bochalis, surrendered on condition of safety, but the Ottomans massacred the entire population of 6,000. Only Bocharis and his family escaped this fate, as they were relatives of the Ottoman grand vizier, Mahmud Pasha Angelović.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Location

The exact site of the medieval castle is unknown. The descriptions in the medieval sources do not match with the village of Gardiki (modern Anavryto) to the east of Leontari, where furthermore no traces of fortifications survive.Шаблон:Sfn It is more likely that the medieval site is to be found southwest of Leontari, some Шаблон:Convert north of Kalamata, at the ruins of Kokla or Kokkala (close to Ellinitsa), where already Pietro Antonio Pacifico and Jean Alexandre Buchon had proposed as its likely site.Шаблон:Sfn
