Village

Domeniko

Domeniko, a lively settlement in the municipality of Elassona, is located in a semi-mountainous area west of the Titarisios river and retains its strong historical and religious character. It is one of the official martyr villages of Greece, as in February 1943 it was the site of executions and arson by German occupation troops, with dozens of civilians losing their lives and most of the settlement being destroyed. The religious landscape of the village is also particularly rich. The central church is Agios Georgios, an important post-Byzantine church with remarkable frescoes and architectural features. According to the Ministry of Culture, it is a characteristic example of 17th-century ecclesiastical architecture in Thessaly. Just outside the village, in a cool natural landscape with plane trees and mulberry trees, stands Panagia Vryzostis (dated 1607–1611), with a magnificent view of the Potamia plain. Next to it are the ruins of an old watermill, reminding us of the importance of the area for local agricultural production.
