Vatika Castle is first mentioned in the Chronicle of the Morea, which records the granting of the area by William II Villehardouin to the nobles of Monemvasia. In 1262, the region came under Byzantine rule and later alternated between Venetian and Ottoman control until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821.

The Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis in Preveza showcases the artifacts from the eponymous archaeological site, highlighting Roman Nikopolis as a city-symbol of Octavian Augustus’ victory and the early Christian city that maintained its religious and administrative prominence after the fall of the Roman borders. The exhibition is organized both chronologically and thematically across the museum’s two main halls. The Timeline in Corridor A introduces key events from the death of Alexander the Great to the founding of Nikopolis. In Hall A, architectural fragments, altars, statues, coins, and various artifacts trace the city’s foundation and development during the Roman and early Christian periods. The display emphasizes the Battle of Actium, the Monument of Victory, public infrastructure and buildings, coinage, religious practices, and the transition into the early Byzantine era. Hall B focuses on the everyday life of Nikopolis’ inhabitants through time. It presents the city’s commercial and craft activities, houses, workshops, harbors, and cemeteries. Objects of daily use, jewelry, tools, toys, and funerary ensembles allow visitors to experience a conceptual “walk” through the ancient city.
