One of the most significant and most powerful cities in history - that is Sparta. You will certainly remember that to to build up a strong army, the ill and weak children were thrown down from a rock. Therefore, at the time of its heyday, Sparta was literally a seedbed of strong soldiers, commanders and fighters. Today, it is a popular tourist destination where youcan see the Acropolis, the statue of the king Leonidas in his traditional armour including a helmet and a shield, the Temple of Artemis, or the vast collections of the local Archaeological Museum.
