Myrina is a coastal town, the capital of Lemnos and the seat of the homonymous municipality. Administratively it belongs to the Municipality of Lemnos of the North Aegean Region (Kallikratis program). From 1999 to 2010, according to the then administrative division of Greece, it was the seat of the homonymous Municipality. It used to belong to the prefecture of Lesvos.
The city of Myrina

Generally
It is built on the west coast of the island and is located between two fortresses, being the main settlement of the island. It has an archeological museum and near it are the ruins of ancient Myrina, which together with Hephaestus stood out as the most important cities of the island in antiquity. The city of Myrina was inhabited before the Bronze Age, as evidenced by antiquities found. During the five millennia that have passed since then, it has always been inhabited in various parts of the area occupied by today's city. A stable point of reference for all historical periods is the fortified peninsula, about 120 meters high, which dominates between the two bays and provided protection and security.
Ruins of prehistoric Myrina
Clay figurine (terracotta) of Myrina from the collections of the Louvre Museum.
It was named after Myrina, daughter of the king of Iolkos Kritheas and wife of the first king of Lemnos, Thoanda. Its foundation dates back to the 12th or 13th century BC, when Lemnos was dominated by the Minyes and probably then the first castle was built.
Today's castle was built in 1186 by Andronikos I Komnenos. It was repaired in the years 1207-1214 by the Philokalos Navigajoso, in 1361 by John V Palaiologos, in 1477 by the Venetians and at the end of the 16th century by the Turks. In 1276 the name Paleokastro prevailed in contrast to another, newly built, castle of the island in Kotzinos. Later the name was simply changed to Castle.
During the Middle Ages and Byzantine times the city had the second place on the island after Hephaestus initially and Kotzinos later.
He took the capital position again in the late Byzantine years and during the Turkish occupation. The name Castro was retained until 1955 when it was renamed Myrina.
History
The prehistoric Myrina
A modern settlement of Poliochni has been located in the area of Myrina. Its original core was the small peninsula of the meteorological station and it expanded north to Riha Nera, where there is a safe harbor. The epicenter of the settlement is located there. The area has provided prehistoric residents with safe mooring, contact with the sea to facilitate fishing and trade, and a close relationship with the nearby fertile hinterland, where today's city is built.
The findings prove the settlement of inhabitants from the final Neolithic period dating back to the end of the 4th millennium BC. Then, as in Poliochni, an organized proto-urban center of the early and middle Bronze Age gradually developed, which lasted until the 2nd millennium BC, when it was abandoned. However, the settlement of Myrina is widespread and not as organized as Poliochni, which is more organized, shows a more complete organization with common areas, squares, streets, wells, etc.
Prehistoric Myrina experienced its greatest development in the second half of the 3rd millennium (around 2600-2100 BC), which corresponds to the Red and Yellow periods of Poliochni. It continued to exist later, until the Iodian period, but the findings are few. Therefore, a parallel course with Poliochni follows. It flourishes during the heyday of Poliochni and declines, like Poliochni, during the period when Koukonisi is developing. Accommodation is not limited to the small peninsula. During its heyday, the city stretched along the coast from the metropolitan mansion to the Swiss and inland to Androni. It covers an area of about 80 acres, in which more than 3,000 inhabitants lived. Therefore, it emerges as the largest residential center on the island.
The houses are impressive. They are usually rectangular, very spacious and have a higher height than those of Poliochni. They have two or three rooms, with an entrance from the east, from where strong winds do not blow. Their roofs are made of seaweed, mud and wood supported on one or two rails. Some houses have a cobbled courtyard with a well, special storage areas with stone benches and an independent kitchen, giving the image of a mansion. In all, nine buildings have been excavated, one of which was a pottery workshop.
Inside the homes were fruit storage jars, three-legged cooking pots, three-legged baking banks, pots of various shapes, including a two-leaf duck feature, stone mortars and fruit grinding grinders, lots of woven tools, bones, stones and copper leather, wood, food, etc. Anthropomorphic and animal-shaped figurines were also found, [1] clay toys (swirls), cylindrical seals, matrices with which they made bronze tools, and a few silver and bronze jewels.
The findings reveal a society of farmers, stockbreeders, fishermen and hunters. There were also artisans of clay, copper, wood and stone, as well as merchants. However, the prehistoric, as well as the historic Myrina, hides many secrets, which are buried under today's city, which is built on the same site as the ancient one. Necessarily, then, we are limited to the findings given by the excavations in a few plots of land in the area of Richi Nero, of which we have obtained only a fragmentary picture of the past.
The classic era
The name Myrina came from the daughter of the king of Iolkos, whom Thoas, the first king of Lemnos, married. Thus, dating back to the years when the Minyans dominated the island, that is, during the 13th century BC, two generations before the Trojan War, since the grandson of Theo and Myrina - the son of Ypsipyli and Jason - was Eunice, king of Lemnos who traded with the Achaean besiegers of Troy.

From this period, the first attempts were made to fortify the hill of the castle with cyclopean walls, which were improved by the Pelasgians, the next rulers of the city and the island, until the end of the 6th century BC.

The Castle of Myrina
The castle
The Athenian period follows, during which Myrina and Hephaestus constitute Dipoli Lemnos. Sometimes they issue their own coins and sometimes they have an audience. Outside the city there is a sanctuary of the goddess Artemis and Myrina is established as the western port of the island.
In 167 AD, which was visited by Dr. Galen, it was in prosperity and retained its ancient name.
The castle
The castle of the city covers an area of 144 acres. It was built in an early form at the beginning of the 12th century and its fortifications were strengthened in 1185 by the emperor Andronikos I Komnenos. For its construction, whatever material was left from the classic citadel of the city was used, which thus disappeared.
It acquired its current form in the years of Venetian rule from Philokalo Navigagiozi (1207-14) and his son Leonardo (1214-60). It was then repaired and completed many times: in 1361 by John V Palaiologos, in 1477 by the Venetian commander Francisco Paschaligo and at the end of the 16th century by the Ottomans.
At all times it was the strongest fortress of Lemnos for this reason and the city was called Kastro from the late Byzantine years until the middle of the twentieth century. It has a triple wall with a total of 14 towers, up to 8 m high and 1.5 m thick, which protected a deep moat to the east, now extinct. In 1780, after the repairs of Hassan Pasha Jezerli, it was equipped with 150 cannons. o] It has a central gate, east, to which it led an uphill cobblestone path and a smaller one, north, near the shore. At the time when Vincenzo Coronelli visited it (1690-95) inside the castle, the place names were heard: Agios Markos, Agios Rokkos, Agia Maria -obviously remnants of temples of the Venetian occupation- and Mavrochori, which was the neighborhood of the lower garrison and was located the sea near the secondary gate. In 1770 the same area and the gate were called Mavrohati.
Venetian domination
Until the Venetian period, the first role as the main port of the island was played by Hephaestus, because it is closer to the Thracian coast and the city.
In 1214 Leonardo Navigaji inherited half of the island along with the castle of Myrina, as well as the title of Grand Duke of Lemnos, in contrast to his brothers who took castles and lands, but not the title. This act shows that the Venetians had given priority to Myrina and considered its safe castle as the seat of the Duke of the island.
Since that time, the importance of the city has increased, which is referred to as Paleokastro - in contrast to the newly built castle of Kotsinos - in both bays, inside and outside the castle, there is a market. In 1355 the monastery of Megisti Lavra maintained a trade in Paleokastro. Also, in a census report of 1407, the outpost of Paleokastro is mentioned, ie a ladder for ships.
According to the Byzantine historical writer Georgios Frantzis, in 1442 the pregnant wife of Konstantinos Paleologos, Aikaterini Gatelouzi, died in Lemnos during the siege and was buried in the "Old Castle, they were old pools".
The name Paleocastro is repeated by many travelers until the end of the 17th century (Piri Reis 1521, Bordone 1528, Tomaso Porcacci Castillone 1572, Rosaccio 1580, Marco Boscini 1658, Sebastiani 1687, Francesco Piazzenza 168). However, at the same time many call the city Lemnos or Stalimeni, as the whole island: Belon (1548: city of Lemno), Lubenau (1588: city of Lemnos), Olfer Daper (1688: the capital Stalimeni), Vincenzo Coronelli (1690- 95: city of Stalimeni). This goes on and on: Frieseman (~ 1780: the city of Lemnos), Auguste de Souzel Goufie (1785: "Myrina in recent years named Lemnos"), Sibthorp (1794: we returned to Lemnos from the villages), Lacroix ( 1848: the capital is called Lemnos by the Turks and Stalimeni by the Christians).
Apparently, the fortress was called "Paleokastro", and the town at the foot of the port: "city of Lemnos" (or Stalimenis) or "Lemnos", resulting in confusion among foreigners.
Fountain of the Ottoman period.
Turkish rule
In 1479, the Venetians, after handing over Lemnos to the Ottomans, left the island together with the Latin-speaking inhabitants, with the result that Myrina and Kotsinos were deserted. The Ottomans established their guard and their families in the castle, and almost immediately, during the years of Sultan Bayezid II (1481-1512), they moved the inhabitants of Burun Hisãr, that is, the castle of the Cape of Plaka, to Baly Kesri. A few years later, the Orthodox metropolitan settled in the city, which until then had been based at the monastery of Agios Pavlos near Livadochori.
Over the next two centuries the city expanded into the plain below the castle, where there were many vineyards. In 1588 it was still small and reminiscent of a village but in 1641 it gave the image of a beautiful town. This was followed by the temporary Venetian conquest of 1656-57. In July 1656 the Venetians occupied Bori

In the middle of the 19th century, the Castle was now the administrative, commercial and educational center of the island. In 1817 a mutual teaching school operated, which in 1889 merged with the schools of Androniou and Tsas and was transformed into an "Urban School".
In 1903 it was housed in a new building built by Nikolaos Dallis with Dimitris Glinos as its first director. For a long time there was a secondary "Greek school", which from 1861 was maintained by Theofanis Moschoudis and from 1881 by John Antoniadis (Antoniadio School Office).
In 1845 a girls' school was founded, which from 1905 was taken over by Odysseus Pantelidis (Pantelideio).
In 1874 a community kindergarten was founded, which from 1888 was maintained by Dimitrios Parisidis (Parisideio).
In 1865-66 the current majestic metropolitan church was erected by the Tinian craftsman Zacharias Filippotis with the assistance of "the people of Lemnos in general and of the capital itself". In 1869 the ossuary was added with a donation from Triantaphyllos Tziros and in 1910 the stone bell tower was built with a donation from Pavlos Psarov.
Varousi was the parish of the metropolitan church. In 1856 the parish was inhabited by 390 men who were taxed to get rid of the army. In total, the city with the districts of Androni and Tsa had 777 conscripts. In 1863 the population of Varousi was 196 families, while in 1874 it had increased to 220. In 1874 the Christian population of the capital was 465 families corresponding to about 4,000 people. In the same year there were 893 houses. About 800 Turks also lived in the city, 75 of whom were guards of the castle.
By the end of the 19th century, the city had changed with the help of wealthy shipowners and expatriates. Impressive mansions were built in Roman Gialos, with the result that the area acquired a cosmopolitan character. Most of them survive and adorn the area to this day, such as the mansions: Douka Paleologou (c. 1858), Vondila (c. 1860), Stylianou Christodoulidis (1868), Ioannis Antoniadis (1862), Ioannis Pantelidis (before 1898), Nikolaou Kisemli ( 1892), Triantafyllou Strafti et al.
The Ottoman administration (before 1904) was also built there, which now houses the Archaeological Museum of Lemnos. The court and other administrative services were housed in a building located on the site of today's hospital. The city had consuls from Greece, England and the Netherlands. In fact, the Greek consulate employed 200 people from all over Lemnos. From 1876 there was a post office, while in the last years of the Turkish occupation there was another post office in the so-called "Frangomahala".
Apart from Varousi, there were two other neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city: Androni to the northeast and Tsa to the southeast. In a map of 1858 they were distinguished from the main city, while the urban fabric of the port district and the Roman quarter in the north is also depicted. There are more than ten windmills on the southeastern hills above Tsa. Also, a windmill on the observatory peninsula and two more above Androni.
The 20th century
The church of the Holy Trinity
With the liberation, the three districts of the city formed the Municipality of Kastro with the first mayor, Anagnostis Garofallou. However, in 1918 it was reduced to a community, in which the Limin Kastro was a separate settlement during the period 1920-28. After the population exchange in 1923, 30% of the Greek refugees who came to the island, ie about 1350 people, settled in the city. They settled in the houses of the Turkish quarter, as well as in new ones built south of the Turkish Gialos. This district was named Nea Madytos, but in the vernacular it was established as Maitiana, as many of the refugees came from Madytos of the Hellespont in Eastern Thrace. Two refugee associations in the city are also mentioned in 1925-26: the "Aeschylus Refugee Association" and the "Greek Refugee Association of Lemnos".
In 1928 the city had a population of 3,726 people. It was the seat of the province, where Nikolaos Rapesis (1922-36), a lawyer from Messolonghi who served for the project and his initiatives, served as governor for 14 years. Among other things, he pioneered the establishment of Scouts, Philharmonic, poor student meals, sports and football clubs, reforestation groups, relying mainly on the financial support of wealthy expatriates. The city had a high school, a justice of the peace, a gendarmerie subdivision, a finance tax office, an agronomist, Dodo's electricity company, the Eastern company's telegraph office and the National, Ionian, Agricultural and Athens banks.
Shortly before the war, the hospital was built by the "Hephaestus Association of Lemnos, New York". From 1920 the newspaper Lemnos was published and for a short time "Nea Lemnos" (1920-25). Also operating were: Association of Teachers, Association of Bakers, the goddess Dimitra, Commercial Association of Castle, Union of Reserve Castle, Philoptochos Brotherhood of Ladies and Misses of Lemnos, Union of Multi-Families of 1924 Limnos, Fishing Hunting Association, Hunting Association football clubs: Pallimniakos A.O. and Hermes Kastrou who initially competed in Teren (in high school) and from 1933 in Gym (today's stadium).
There were more than 200 shops, where the inhabitants of the island came to shop with their animals, carts and from about 1925 with the first "buses", which were parked in Finlezon Square (today's KTEL Square). Theatrical performances and cinematic screenings were organized.
The interwar period ended with a tragedy. In September 1939, in the first screening of a talking film, a fire destroyed the hall (an old mosque), killing more than 50 residents of the city. Entire families with children were then lost, mourning the island.
In 1947 the community of Kastro was upgraded to a Municipality, with Nikolaos Karavia as the first mayor. In 1955 it was renamed the Municipality of Myrina. Although the city got its ancient name, many Lemnians still call the city "Castle" and the inhabitants "Kastrinos". The "Castle" association of Athens also bears the name "Castle".
After 1974, the mayors of Myrina were:
George Chatziharalambous
Giannis Xiradis
David Kasimis
Despina Vogdanou-Konstantiou
Costas Sampalos
Nikos Korniotis
Athanasios Skamagis.
Today's city
The city developed as the main urban center of the island, attracting more and more people. Of the 3,457 inhabitants it had in 1951, it has exceeded 5,000 today. It is the seat of the prefect of Lemnos, of public services, of many banks, hospital, nursing home, of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives. There are General and Vocational High Schools, primary schools, kindergartens, public and private kindergartens, secondary schools and foreign language schools. Also, the sports clubs SA are active. Lemnos, A.O. Myrina, Nautical Club of Lemnos, Lemnos-Volleyball, GAS of Myrina.
Today's city includes the Androni districts, one of the old temples of St. Andronikos, and Tsa, derived from the similar Russian word meaning "observatory".
The rock on which the castle is built divides the beach of Myrina into two main districts, the Roman Gialos and Nea Madytos [3] [4], which was named after Greek refugees from Asia Minor and Thrace, many of whom settled there. of which from Madytos, Thrace. Roman Gialos are dominated by the neoclassical houses of the wealthy who settled in Egypt. The Archaeological Museum, the Holy Metropolis of Lemnos, which houses the Ecclesiastical Museum and the Gymnasium of Myrina, are also located in the Roman Gialos. Continuation of the Roman Gialos is the coast of Riha Nera, which in the summer is pulsating with the presence of swimmers.
In the castle of Myrina, which was originally built by the emperor Andronikos A΄ Komnenos (1118-1185) on parts of an older archaic wall, the visitor can, among other things, admire a large deer population, which live freely [5] .
The daily tents in the port, the traditional cobbled alleys, the taverns and the illuminated summer evenings castle and the chapel of St. Nicholas create the image of a special place.

Roman Gialos is the nearest beach and a little further is Riha Nera. On both beaches the approach is on foot, they have clear waters and a rich sandy beach so they are the busiest.
Just outside Myrina on the road to Kaspakas, the beach of Avlona stretches. On the left side dominates the hotel Porto Mirina, in the center of which is the ancient temple of the Goddess Artemis.
Sport
Myrina Sports Club
The A.O. Myrina was founded in the summer of 1987. This year it was decided to merge the three historical teams of the city, Pallimniakos, Asteras and the Argonauts, in order to form a fighting football team, SA. Lemnos. At the same time, the A.O. Myrina, which included the young football players of the three clubs and those who did not manage to join the "good" team of the city, in order to create a nursery for AEL.
The first BoD of A.O.M. consisted of: George Tsalapatas (president), Univ. Lyroudia (rep.), Chr. Theodorakopoulos (born b), No. Tsolakis (treasurer), Nikos Moschakis (football curator), Dimitris Giannikizakis (material curator), Kon. Karagiozis, Leonidas Anastasopoulos and Elias Patsarisos. [6]
The A.O.M. from the conditions of its establishment it was determined not to play a leading role in the football events of the island. So he was limited to a role as a compass in the local championship, usually finishing in the last places. In fact, after the re-establishment of the Argonauts, in 1999, it lost the role of nursery, since the Argonauts developed good infrastructure departments. So the club fell into an identity crisis.
Initially, the group was on the rise. In 1987-88 he was promoted from the Third Division to the Second Division of Lemnos and in 1988-89 he won the promotion to the First Division, from which he was immediately demoted. It was re-launched in 1991 and remained until 1997-98 with some decent years.
During these years, the infrastructure of the team was coached by coach Dimitris Gianikizakis, who showed some talents with Manousakis at the top, who then had an excellent course in the national teams of children, young people, hopes, in the Olympic team of 2004 and in teams A΄ and Second National.
In 2002, Myrina won the second division title and returned to the second division. For a couple of seasons it seemed to show signs of stability. But it soon began to sprout. In 2006, in an effort to pull the club out of the quagmire, the management and its members decided to disband the club and re-establish it under the name: PAS Lemnos, in order to set up a football team organized on a modern basis. Thus, the period 2006-07 was the last time that A.O. participated. Myrina in the local championship of Ε.Π.Σ. Lesvos. It has ceased to exist since June 2007, although PAS Lemnos was not eventually established.
