Palatitsia

Palatitsia

One of the oldest settlements of Imathia that was named after the nearby palace (palace) of Vergina (Aiges). The village is mentioned in writings of 1328 and during the Byzantine period it was a couple (farm). At the same time the area reached great prosperity, a fact that is proven by the many churches in the area (St. Demetrios, St. Triada, St. Athanasios, St. Paraskevi) but also by the coins found in the area. According to tradition, Apostle Paul spent a night in Palatitsia in his way from Veria to Athens. During the period of the Macedonian Struggle, the settlement was a passage of guerrilla corps and a meeting place of great military leaders. The church of the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary but the village celebrates on the Holy Trinity-Holy Spirit day..
