EDITORS COMMENTS
1. The Main Square of Pylos, Greece: A Historical Testament to the Battle of Navarino The Main Square of Pylos, Greece, is a captivating and historically significant site that holds the monument of the Three Admirals. This monument, located in the heart of the picturesque town, is a poignant reminder of the pivotal role Pylos played in Greece's War of Independence. The monument is adorned with the likenesses of three distinguished naval commanders: Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Codrington of the British Royal Navy, who served as the commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean; French Admiral Henri de Rigny; and Russian Admiral Lodewijk Heyden. Each admiral played a crucial role in the Battle of Navarino, which took place on October 20, 1827. The monument stands tall in the square, with a Turkish cannon on one side and a Venetian cannon on the other, symbolizing the multifaceted alliances and conflicts that characterized the region during this period. The Battle of Navarino, also known as the Battle of Navarinus or the Battle of Pylos, was a decisive naval victory for the combined forces of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia against the Ottoman and Egyptian fleets. This turning point in Greek history marked the beginning of the end of the Ottoman rule in Greece. The Main Square of Pylos, with its historical monument and rich history, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Greek history and the pivotal role played by the Three Admirals in the country's journey towards independence. The monument, a testament to the past, stands proudly in the present, inviting visitors to reflect on the events that shaped the region and its people.
