Discover the history of Esparta.

Sparta was a city-state in Ancient Greece, located in the Peloponnese. Founded around the 10th century BC by the Dorians, Sparta became a military power in Greece thanks to its highly disciplined and trained army.

In Spartan society, the emphasis was on military training and discipline. From a young age, boys were sent to training camps where they underwent intense physical and military training. Women also received some military instruction and had more freedom and rights than in other Greek city-states.

Sparta excelled in the Peloponnesian War against Athens and also in the Greco-Persian Wars. However, its rigidly militaristic society and lack of focus on cultural and intellectual aspects contributed to its decline over the centuries.

Despite its fascinating history, Sparta is often overshadowed by its rival, Athens, which stood out culturally and intellectually in the context of Ancient Greece. Nevertheless, the military legacy and Spartan discipline continue to be studied and admired to this day.
