Sparta is a city and municipality in Laconia, Greece. It lies at the site of ancient Sparta. The municipality was merged with six nearby municipalities in 2011, for a total population of 35,259, of whom 17,408 lived in the city.
Beginning in the 13th century, the political and cultural center of Laconia shifted to Mystras, some 4 km to the west.
The settlement at ancient Sparta, named Lacedaemonia, continued to exist, although greatly depopulated, until modern times as a town of a few thousand people who lived among the ruins, in the shadow of Mystras. The Palaiologos family also lived in Mystras. The Despotate of the Morea was captured by the Ottomans under Mehmed II in 1460.
