Tigani
Landform in southern Greece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tigani (Τηγάνι) is a small peninsula in the landscape of Mani in southern Greece. The name is Greek for "frying pan". Tigani is surrounded by the sea except for a narrow strip of land that connects to the mainland. The ruins of a probable crusader castle can be found there. The castle's position and its walls made it extremely hard to capture.
Megali Maina
Many historians believe that Tigani is the location of the castle Megali Maina (also called Grande Magne) because Tigani fits elements of historic descriptions of Megali Maina.[citation needed]
