The city of Monemvasia, which is the focus of this research of mine, occupies the SouthEastern part of the rock οfMonemvasia.

Living within a place since early childhood, one sees it in a different way than the way of a visitor, a tourist passer-by, who came to visit a historic, traditional settlement.

Going often and walking along the castle’s paths and stone- paved alleys, one gets acquainted to them and creates in his/her mind a map of one’s own. That is the way I have created as well a story of itineraries, through my trail, the senses of space, the multiplicity of tracks.

All the characteristics of the lower and upper city arrange spaces, and that is how I create my own scenarios of movement and spatial undrestanding.

Through the point of view of a pathfinder, in the case study on Monemvasia, I gradually map the trails into the network of Monemvasia.

I approach, analyze, and “resolve” the city’s network, with the aim of understanding the typology of the trails. The initially labyrinth-like web acquires a new much clearer and logical essence (hypostasis) in my way of comprehending this specific space.
