Monemvassia known by the Franks as Malvasia, is a well-known medieval fortress with an adjacent town, located on a small peninsula off the east coast of the Peloponnese in the Greek prefecture of Laconia.
The peninsula is linked to the mainland by a short causeway 200m in length. The ruins include the defensive structures and many Byzantine churches. The town's name derives from two Greek words, mone and emvassia, meaning "single entrance".
