Megalopoli (Greek:Μεγαλόπολη) is a town in the southwestern part of the regional unit of Arcadia, southern Greece. It is located in the same site as ancient Megalopolis (Μεγαλόπολις). When it was founded in 371 BC, it was the first large urbanization in rustic Arcadia. Its theater had a capacity of 20,000 visitors, making it one of the largest ancient Greek theaters. Megalopoli has several schools, shops, churches, hotels and other services. The population of Megalopoli in 2011 was 5,779 for the town proper.
Geography
Megalopoli is situated in a wide valley, surrounded by mountains: the Taygetus to the south, the Mainalo to the north, the Tsemperou to the southeast and the Lykaion to the west. Its elevation is 430 m above sea level. The river Alfeios flows through this valley, coming from the east and flowing to the north, passing south and west of the town. Its tributary Elissonas passes north of the town. The large lignite deposits around Megalopoli are being exploited by open-pit mining. The Megalopoli Power Plant, 3km northwest of the town centre, has produced electricity from this lignite since 1969.

St. Theodora church in Vasta Megalopolis, Arcadia, Greece
Saint Theodora of the book "Guinness World Records". The church was built between 1050-1100 in honor of Martyr Theodora. Located near the village of Vasta Megalopolis in an idyllic wooded ravine with dense forest of enormous oaks. the church even though small in size impresses every visitor trying to justify the existence of the 17 towering trees on the roof without root trace at the bottom of the roof or inside the temple. Visiting Agia Theodora is a great trip on the same day from Athens. It is worth visiting the spot even as detour on the road to Kalamata.

Saint Theodora of the book "Guinness World Records". The church was built between 1050-1100 in honor of Martyr Theodora. Located near the village of Vasta Megalopolis in an idyllic wooded ravine with dense forest of enormous oaks. the church even though small in size impresses every visitor trying to justify the existence of the 17 towering trees on the roof without root trace at the bottom of the roof or inside the temple. Visiting Agia Theodora is a great trip on the same day from Athens. It is worth visiting the spot even as detour on the road to Kalamata.

Megalopoli (Greek:Μεγαλόπολη) is a town in the southwestern part of the regional unit of Arcadia, southern Greece. It is located in the same site as ancient Megalopolis (Μεγαλόπολις). When it was founded in 371 BC, it was the first large urbanization in rustic Arcadia. Its theater had a capacity of 20,000 visitors, making it one of the largest ancient Greek theaters. Megalopoli has several schools, shops, churches, hotels and other services. The population of Megalopoli in 2011 was 5,779 for the town proper.
Geography
Megalopoli is situated in a wide valley, surrounded by mountains: the Taygetus to the south, the Mainalo to the north, the Tsemperou to the southeast and the Lykaion to the west. Its elevation is 430 m above sea level. The river Alfeios flows through this valley, coming from the east and flowing to the north, passing south and west of the town. Its tributary Elissonas passes north of the town. The large lignite deposits around Megalopoli are being exploited by open-pit mining. The Megalopoli Power Plant, 3km northwest of the town centre, has produced electricity from this lignite since 1969.
