Lascarina Boubulina Museum

Laskarina Bubulina was the famous heroine of the Greek Revolution of 1821. She was born in Constantinople, in a Turkish prison where her family was imprisoned. Laskarina's father was Captain Stavrionis Pinotzis, an active participant in the Greek revolution against Ottoman rule that broke out in 1769-1770.

Laskarina Bubulina was a wealthy woman, as she inherited the capital of her late husband. With this money, she maintained a small fleet with crews, as well as an army of rebels. During the revolution, she financed the activities of the underground Greek organization Filiki Eteria, buying weapons and food for it.

In 1821, during the siege of the fortress of Nafplion, Laskarina Boubulina showed heroism, raising the rebels to a decisive assault on the fortress. In honor of her compatriots opened a monument. It stands on the waterfront, opposite the city hall. In the house of Lascarina Bubulina, a memorial museum is opened.
