TRIPOLITZA, or TRIPOLITZA, a town of Greece, capital of the nomarchy of Arcadia, is situated in a plain 3000 feet above the level of the sea, and 22 miles southwest of Argos. Before the revolution Tripolitza was the capital of the Morea and the seat of a pasha, and contained about 20,000 inhabitants; but in 1821 it was taken and sacked by the insurgents; and in 1825 its ruin was com-
pleted by Ibrahim Pasha, who razed it with the ground. The town has since been rebuilt, and at present contains about 8000 inhabitants.
