History

From the plain to the mountain

Trikala took the place of ancient Mysaion. In the 10th century, lowland residents climbed the slopes of Mount Ziria and built villages at 900–1,100 metres — further from raiders, closer to clean air and water.

Church of Agios Dimitrios (1697)

In Kato Trikala. Known for its expressionist-style frescoes.

Monastery of the Panagia (1700)

In Mesaia Trikala, built by the Metropolitan of Corinth, Grigorios Notaras.

Church of Agios Nikolaos

In Ano Trikala. Frescoes dating to the 10th century — among the oldest monuments in the area.

The Notaras Mansion

Stone and wooden mansions from the 16th–18th century in Ano Trikala. Many remain open to the public.
