Pelasgia

Pelasgia

Pelasgia ( _el. Πελασγία) is a municipality in Phthiotis, Greece with a population of 3,310 (2001 census). Ruins just outside the village are thought to be the remains of ancient Larisa Kremaste, a settlement dating from at least the 4th-5th centuries BC and inhabited until at least early Byzantine times. The substantial boundary walls of the ancient acropolis are still visible, and mosaics from an early Christian basilica have been uncovered a short distance away near the shore. The ancient settlement appears to be mentioned in Homer in connection with a tribe called the Pelasgians, from which the modern village derives its name.Some years ago, the area became negatively known about the murder of a 13-years-old girl by her father.
