Patras, the seat of the provisional government at the beginning of the revolution in Greece, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Patras, the seat of the provisional government at the beginning of the revolution in Greece, 1862. The revolution in Greece, the successive steps of which followed the first rumour of disaffection with such startling rapidity, has up to the present time been carried out quietly and without bloodshed. The National Assembly is summoned to meet on Dec. 22, when the form of Constitution under which the country will for the future be governed is to be settled...Patras is a fortified seaport town of Greece, and the principal seat of its foreign trade. It is situated in the north-west of the Morea, at the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto. The ancient Patrae stood on the declivity of Mount Voidhia, but the modern town occupies a portion of the low and unhealthy plain between the hill and the sea...A ruined Roman aqueduct is one of the few relics of antiquity at Patras. Its principal trade is in currants of the best quality, large quantities of which are raised all along the north shore of the Morea. The population of Patras is about 8000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to Patras, Greece, in 1862, during the early stages of the Greek Revolution. The image showcases the bustling town, which served as the seat of the provisional government at the beginning of this pivotal historical moment. The National Assembly was due to convene on December 22, 1862, where the country's future constitution would be determined. Patras, a fortified seaport town, was Greece's principal hub for foreign trade. Situated in the north-west of the Morea, at the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto, the town was a significant economic center, renowned for its high-quality currants. The population of Patras was approximately 8,000, and the town was home to a few relics of ancient history, such as the ruins of a Roman aqueduct. The photograph reveals a vibrant and bustling scene, with the town's low and unhealthy plain between the hill and the sea dotted with buildings and people. The ancient ruins of Patrae, which once stood on the declivity of Mount Voidhia, have given way to the modern town. Despite the town's unhealthy conditions, its strategic location and economic importance made it a focal point in the Greek Revolution, as the country sought to establish its independence and democratic government.
