The history

Kozani does not have as famous a history in ancient times as other cities in Greece. However, important archaeological finds have been discovered since the end of prehistory, such as the necropolis dating from the Iron Age. There are also traces of the settlement of Kalyvia, between 1100 and 1300 BC on the hill of Siopotos. In 1392, settlers from Epirus - namely Premeti, Vithikouki and Kozdiani - fled to the settlement of Kalyvia and built their houses a little further east of the settlement. Thus, they created a unified community, with Kozani's first recorded reference being to a sultan's firman in 1528. There are many theories about how Kozani got its name, with the most prevalent one wanting the settlers of Epirus to call their new settlement Kozdiani, which in the process became Koziani and finally Kozani. Due to the fact that it was under the protection of the Sultan's suitcase, Kozani had no conquerors until the 19th century. An important event was the foundation of the library in 1668, which is now the second largest library in Greece, after that of Athens and is called Coventarius. It has 153,000 volumes, 380 manuscripts, rare editions and one of the 17 surviving originals of the Rigas Feraios Charter of Greece. The looting of Kozani in 1803 by Aslan Bey stopped the development of the city, while its inhabitants participated with the rest of the Greeks in the Revolution of 1821. A few years later, the inhabitants of Kozani fought for their freedom during the Macedonian Struggle. They were liberated from the Turks in 1912, while in 1923 during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, several refugees settled in the southeast of the city.

Castle

Victory Square

Niki Square is the main square of Kozani and is located in the heart of the city. This square hosts numerous events throughout the year, while it is surrounded by wonderful neoclassical buildings such as the city hall and the emblematic building of the National Bank of Greece. In Niki Square, next to the town hall, is the church of Agios Nikolaos, another symbol of Kozani, since Agios Nikolaos is the patron saint of the city. Visit for sure that part of the square and you will have the opportunity to see the famous clock tower that was built in 1855 and has a height of 26 meters. This clock is a symbol of the city and the bells of the tower are heard in most parts of the city center.

The third and fourth floor of the museum hosts species and representations of the life and professions of the inhabitants of Kozani, while the fifth floor has authentic costumes of the place. Finally, the sixth floor of the museum houses representations of three rooms of old mansions of Kozani.

It is so valuable and nutritious for the body, also called "red gold". It is planted in late summer with early autumn and produces small purple flowers, with each having three red-gold threads inside. Annual production of saffron depends on the weather conditions and ranges from 6 to 12 tonnes of pure red saffron per year. It takes 150,000 flowers to produce 1kg of dried saffron stigma and about 50,000 stigmas to obtain 100 grams of red saffron which makes saffron the most expensive spice in the world.
