==Sights== [[File:Andritsena, Greece - 2.jpg|thumb|Street]] Today, the village has impressive old mansions, cobblestone streets, a square surrounded by tall trees and magnificent views. The fountain in the square (''I Trani Vrysi'') is the [[Peloponnese]]'s oldest fountain, built in 1724. The famous Nikolopouleios library was founded in 1840 from donations of the humanist [[Konstantinos Nikolopoulos (composer)|Agathofron Nikolopoulos]], whose family came from Andritsaina. Its collection comprises rare 16th- and 17th-century manuscripts, in Greek and in foreign languages, important documents from the period of the [[Greek War of Independence]] and rich folklore material. Today, the library has more than 40,000 volumes. The famous Temple of Epicurian Apollo at [[Bassae]] is 6 km south of Andritsaina, in Messenia.
