“The Colors of Siatista bewitched the pupils of the 2nd Grade of our High School on their school visit at our neighboring city on Monday 21st November 2022. They participated at the educational program of the Ephorate of Antiquities at Kozani called The Colors of Siatista, implemented at the restored mansion of Poulko (Poulkidi). The introduction to the history of the city and the tour to the monument and its surroundings attended an art workshop, where they had the opportunity to express themselves artistically and create their own Colors, inspired by the colorful decoration of the summer rooms were plenty of light was coming through the innumerous windows and the decorated vitraux skylights.
Rich colors on the hagiographic decoration of the post-byzantine temple of Aghia Paraskevi left the pupils speechless. As they mention, “while it resembles to a small and low church on the outer side, it looks bigger on the inside, thanks to its ingenious interior arrangement, which adds height and depth. The pupils were also impressed by the other sightseeing of Siatista, such as the Ecclesiastic Museum and the Botanical and Paleontological collection at the Trambantzeio High School, including bones and stones from various mammoths and fossils from prehistoric animals”.
