Farsala

Farsala straddles the lower slopes of Mount Narthaki in southern Thessaly, where the broad Thessalian Plain gives way to inland hills and the town has developed as a regional market centre. Known in antiquity as Pharsalus, it is associated with the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BCE, fought nearby during the Roman civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Farsala is also known across Greece for halva Farsalon, a local sweet made with sugar, starch and almonds, traditionally finished with a caramelised surface.
