Historical data

Siatista probably built in the early 15 th


century by residents of surrounding
areas who were seeking a safe haven
from the Ottoman invasions. Later,
https://siatista-info.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_4.html 1/20
8/26/2018 Mansions - Siatista - Siatista-Info

residents arrived from Moschopolis,


Thessaly, Souli, Moria and other areas.
For the name of Siatista there are
several versions but we will mention the
one that denotes the name Siatista from
the Slav setsiam = I split and the end-is
= a place separated. This version may
well describe / describe the division, the
division of Siatista into two districts,
Gerania (lower district) and Chora
(upper district), which have been united
due to residential development.

The economic prosperity of Siatista


observed during 17 the 18 the and 19 the
century. The causes of this economic
prosperity are mainly due to: 
immigrants who have been sending
money to their families at regular
intervals, to wine-growing and wine
production that together with raki were
sought-after products in the markets,
the textile, shoe-making and fur
production.

In the 18 the and 19 the century, the great


economic prosperity of the city which is
developing a wide trading network in
Russia, Budapest, Vienna and Venice,
accompanies the intellectual and social
development, samples of which are also
the SIATISTINO mansions,
approximately 30 are reported to be
preserved today, other preserved /
renovated and others at various stages
of abandonment. Even so, they admire
their imposing presence and testify to
the cultural flourishing of the place, the
exceptional aesthetics and the special
abilities of the masters of the time.

More than fifty mansions have been built by Siatista in the early
18th century. The raids of the Turkish-Albanians, who for half a
century have sought to reap the wealth and glory of the city, fall
into the void, as the mansions, right fortresses, withstand the
looting ... And the time is rolling. With long journeys, feasts, songs
and the famous sunshine flowing pleasing soul, body and heart ...
Many of the mansions of the time are preserved to this day,
preserving the rich heritage of the city. You will find them hidden in
the straits, fortified behind their tall walls. Several of them remain
privately owned and inhabited to this day, restored - at least
externally - according to the patterns of their original form. Quite
also, they remain unexploited, with obvious signs of abandonment.

Epirus craftsmen and Macedonian craftsmen come with their


guilds to build the merchant's mansions on the tempo of the era.
They curl the stone and re-create the majestic buildings with the
painted overhangs, woodcuts and loopholes. Folk painters give
shape, color and form to their inner world. They paint the walls, the
mosaics, the ceilings, they make a world of colorful, fairy-tale.
Fantastic landscapes and distant cities. Venice, Madrid,
Bosphorus, Adrianople. Chests and colorful embroidery, masterful
fireplaces and stained glass skylights, complete their rich interior
decoration. The same artisans will build the elaborate churches
with the despotic thrones, the pilgrimages and the woodcut
temple.

A fascinating trip to spacetime shelters inside Dolgira's mansion. A


model of designation, not only in the building but also in the
everyday life of the era, is perhaps a reason for itself to visit

Siatista. Household utensils, winter decorations with colorful


fireplaces and tiles, vibrant colors - blue, yellow, green, purple -
white-painted rooms, women's costumes and frescoes "write" in
eye and lens, the echo of a unique atmosphere that remains
unforgettable. Two more mansions, Manoussi and Nertzopoulos,
with their extremely stained stained glass, soon open their doors
and welcome us.

Two roads lead to Siatista. One is the Egnatia Odos, in the Kozani-
Ioannina section and the other via the Larissa (provincial road of
Siatista-Neapolis). Snowy, Veilia's bare peaks are great, while just
twenty minutes are enough for an excursion to the Vasilitsa Ski
Resort, but also to the magical Lake of Kastoria. "Christmas Tree",
Christmas Eve and the two-day boubouras on Jan. 5, invite us to
"Chalkina" and Carnival celebrations in the middle of winter. The
hanging bridge of Lake Polyfitos and the neighboring waterfalls of
Velvendos to the east of Kozani are an escape that you should not
miss. In the wooden kiosks in the squares of the two districts, the
girls of the municipality will give you information and guide you to
the town's mansions and temples. With tradition of hundreds of
years in the fur processing and trade, in Siatista, you will find a
wide variety of fur and leather goods at very tempting prices.

Gerania and Chora. Two districts, at the ends of the settlement,


divide the city into two. First and older Gerania with its stone-built
square, the giant plane tree and the cafes. In the upper
neighborhood, Chora hosts most of the town's mansions, but also
the Town Hall, the Gymnasium, the Ecclesiastical Museum and the
Manusios Library, with manuscripts and rare publications from the
16th century. In the same area, the Botanical-Palaeontological
Museum hosts, among others, a collection of 500 rare butterflies
and the fossil tortoise found in 1902 in the area. The temple of Agios
Dimitrios, one of the largest in Western Macedonia, built in 1911 from
stone, stands its imposing stature all over the city.

Chora. It was built in 1759, at a time when the city of
Siatista flourished as a center of transit trade.
It is a two-storey building with a ground floor, a floor
and a semi-open space - a downstairs building. The
mural decoration on the exterior and interior
surfaces dates back to 1844 and is a representative
example of painting production of the city of
Siatista and more generally of Western Macedonia.
The restoration work of the building and the
maintenance of the frescoes were completed. At the

Mansion Dolgira - Siatista

Valuable heritage

One of the most beautiful houses in Siatista, the Dolgira Mansion


was rescued thanks to the efforts of the club "Markis Poulios" and
was restored as it was in its original form.

(Mansion Dolgira)

City known for its fur trade and the wine, Siatista flourished in the
18 the and 19 the century. At that time most of its mansions were
built by Epirus and Macedonian craftsmen, some of whom live and
testify to the grandeur of the North-Helladic city. Dolgira Mansion,
the most well-preserved of the remaining thirty remaining houses
of Siatista, was built in the early 1700s by Cholgira, a villain of the
area and originally a middle-sized stone-built home. A hundred
years later, the house was inherited by Dimitrios Dolgiras, a
wealthy merchant who for his work traveled continuously from
Vienna to Adrianople and from Constantinople to Smyrna.

(arched windows in the lobby)

In 1840, Dolgira brought folk painters who crafted the interior with
beautiful colors and motifs. It was also decorated with furniture
from Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest and amazing chandeliers
that were not saved. The Archontiko belongs today to Dolgira heirs,
who dispersed in various parts of the world and granted their use
for 23 years to the Cultural Cultural Association of Siatista "Markíki
Pouliou". Thanks to the efforts of the members of the club,
responsible for the education of Vassiliki Siasiou, money from the
Leader II program, as well as donations from the everyday people
of Siatista, who also sent valuable antiques and family heirlooms,
the Dolgira Mansion now functions as a folk museum and a living
sample of history city's.

( the winter ground on the ground floor)

Responsible for the study and supervision of the restoration of the


minute maintenance work was Kozanitis architect Georgios
Samarniotis, specialized in post-Byzantine monuments. Along with
him worked old Siatista technicians, who during the work trained
and younger in the traditional professions.

It is surrounded by a fortress wall that hides the courtyard with the


kitchen and the well. The cookery was buried under tons of soil,
built again like the stone-baked oven. In the cookery there were
cooks and candles, in the same place there is also a ceramic toilet,
aka Turka.

Polyphonites are the Siatista mansions

"Many are the mansions of Siatista in Western Macedonia,


standing as a proper and eternal testimony of the soul and pulse of
a world that has remained in history, but its spirit and creative
spirit are still alive and inspiring."

(27-7-1978 newspaper "Macedonia").

Siatista consists of two urban settlements with important


ecclesiastical, community and secular monuments. Perhaps it is
the only city that has rescued the form of old nobility. The large
number of mansions occupy the nuclei of the settlements, which
determine the dimensions of the economic, cultural and social life
of the city in the 18th and 19th centuries. As they still raise their
stature to the stubbornness of time and indifference, Siatista
becomes legendary and acquires a dimension in space and time.

Much important in time, it is the city of today and the ones that
existed, the city of heart and memory, the city that follows
Siatistino where land. The city that gives the first sense of
encroaching and isolation to the unsuspecting visitor. The serenity
of the Siatistines was removed by the transformation of this rock
into a beehive and an ark of resurrection of eminent virtues.

The way of life in the 18th century is embodied in all the mansions
with the fortress stone-built courtyards and the imposing oak
doors. With the opening of the gates, the paved courtyard, with the
well, the oven and the kitchen, is imposing, imposing the main
building on two or three floors oriented mainly on the axis of the
meridian, the wise composition of the masonry is connected with
the oak windows.

The monotony of the height breaks with the whitewashed


sachnisis, protruding on curved curls. The imposing roof protrudes
without gutters and over the elaborate chimneys. The iron-on
windows of the first floor, the low wooden entrance and the blinds
necessary conditions of security of defense character.

When the entrance hatch opens, it leads to the paved "mess".

The first floor was the residence area during the winter months and
consists of the "vitreous" hall with wood-carved roof on the right
and left the rooms. The second floor along with the banquet hall,
sessions and good rooms. Impressive are the ceilings of the
polygonal hull and rooms with arabesque. The fireplaces are
decorated with plaster and stained glass. The skylights are
stained, above the windows of the 2nd floor with the benches.
Symbolic representations of paintings on walls and cupboards.

The famous mansions of Siatista are works of a great architecture


that is a continuation of Byzantine. They were built by craftsmen in
the area thanks to the capabilities of the merchant merchants,
who were mostly active in the Danubian countries of Europe.

Every season leaves its own stamp, it imposes its own


architectural rhythms. The dwellings that are built must be suited
to the traditional and historical character of the city. Fortunately,
even few people with their own taste and sensitivity have given
their homes the architectural features and the volume of

https://siatista-info.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_4.html 15/20
8/26/2018 Mansions - Siatista - Siatista-Info

mansions with a harmonious blend of modern and traditional


materials.

The mansion of Nerantzopoulos or Hatzigiannidis is located in the


square of Chora. He belonged to Hatzigiannidis, who made a
fortune as a merchant in Budapest. In the mansion, however, his
later owner, Nerantzopoulos, gave his name.

According to the inscription, it was built in 1754 and was decorated


in the following years. It saves a unique stained glass on the
second floor of Sachinism, distinct paintings and wood sculpture.

In 1969, the mansion of Nerantzopoulos was bought by the Greek


state. The mansions were made in the time of the great prosperity
of Siatista, a proof of the wealth of the city's inhabitants in the 18th
and 19th centuries. It is three-storey, with imposing view, stone

structure and rich interior decoration. They are rectangular in the


shape "P" or "C" and their facade is meridian.

What distinguishes their interior is the comfortable and richly


decorated spaces, which are characterized by autonomy, but
without interruption of internal communication, by the existence
of a nucleus around which the arrangement of the spaces is made.

The wood-carved decoration, the skylights and the stained-glass


windows impress the Nerantzopoulos mansion. In the skylights,
apart from the beautiful plaster frames, the engraved patterns,
inscriptions and lyrics are interesting.

Filmed on smoked glass (in sgraffito), the latter are written in the
ancient language and glorify the beauty and majesty of the house.
Today the mansion belongs to the Ministry of Culture and
functions as a visiting museum space.

Visiting mansions are: Nerantzopoulos, Manousi, Poulkos, Dolgira,


Dintsiou. The rescue of mansions with a functional character and
not just a museum is not just the rescue of the past, it is for the
place the salvation of the present, the salvation of the future.

"The mansions of Siatista, unhindered by time, with their


everlasting presence persist, for centuries now, to testify to the
younger ones the old grandeur and the nobility of the place. The
visitor - pilgrim remains astonished at the sight of these museum
buildings, whose external architecture and the richness of the
hand-made interior decor is unprecedented ... ..

Need immediate action. Delay will be a disaster. Destruction and


disrespect ".
