Trikala

Trikala straddles the Lithaios River in western Thessaly, and its tree-lined banks have long shaped the centre of this inland Greek city. The Lithaios is a tributary of the Pineios, which crosses the Thessalian plain before reaching the Aegean. In the old quarter of Varousi, narrow lanes rise towards the fortress on the former acropolis, while the nearby 16th-century Kursum Mosque is attributed to the Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. Ancient Trikka was associated with the cult of Asclepius, linking the city to a longstanding Greek tradition of healing. Trikala is also known in Greece for municipal digital-services projects.
