The Peloponnese (/ˈpɛləpəˌniːz/) or Peloponnesus (/ˌpɛləpəˈniːsəs/; Greek: Πελοπόννησος, Pelopónnēsos) is a peninsula and geographic region in southern Greece. It is separated from the central part of the country by the Isthmus and Gulf of Corinth. During the late Middle Ages and the Ottoman era, the peninsula was known as the Morea (Greek: Μωρέας), a name still in colloquial use in its demotic form (Μωριάς).

From its origins in 1730 as a Mosque, built so the story goes by a wealthy Ottoman Agha in reparation for his killing of two Venetians, it has had a varied life. Its most revered role by Greeks is as home for the first Greek Parliament for a few months in the mid 1820s. Subsequently it served as a school. For a time a prison existed on the entrance floor. After renovation it now serves as a cultural centre with the Municipal Gallery and also hosts conferences.
