City and castle of P\u00e1rga, from E (pier)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

In ancient times P\u00e1rga had various names such as Paragiros, Ypargos and Paragaia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Based on the excavations, it is estimated that the area was first inhabited during the Middle Paleolithic era<\/strong> (300,000 – 30,000 BC). The inhabitants of the city had built P\u00e1rga on Mount Pezovolos.<\/p>\n\n

From the Mycenaean years<\/strong> to its union with Greece, P\u00e1rga was never independent. It then changed from sovereign to sovereign.<\/p>\n\n

In Roman and Byzantine<\/strong> times there are no reports of P\u00e1rga.<\/p>\n\n

In 1360<\/strong> the inhabitants of P\u00e1rga moved the city to its current location. The rulers of P\u00e1rga were the Normans, who built a castle between the two bays, to defend themselves from enemy attacks. Later the dominion passed to the Venetians, who upgraded the castle, because P\u00e1rga was a very important port for them. The Venetians used the port to conduct military operations in Epirus.<\/p>\n\n

In 1797<\/strong> P\u00e1rga falls into French hands, but not for long because in 1814 the Pargians revolted against the French, for the sake of the English. With the British at the helm, P\u00e1rga flourished in the economy, roads and houses were built, but unfortunately not for long, since a little later, in 1817, the British sold P\u00e1rga to the Turks.<\/p>\n\n

Two years later, in 1819<\/strong>, the inhabitants left P\u00e1rga and went to the Ionian Islands. P\u00e1rga was united with the rest of Greece in 1913.<\/p>\n\n

Venetian castle of P\u00e1rga:<\/strong> A castle, built on a hill, with beautiful views. It is worth going in the afternoon to enjoy the sunset.<\/p>\n\n

Vlacherna Monastery: An old monastery, built in a green grove, which is difficult to reach by car, but it is a very nice walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
