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'.
