Giannitsa, Provincial capital in Pella Municipality, Greece
Located at 42 meters above sea level, Giannitsa extends across 208 square kilometers in the fertile plains of Central Macedonia.
Founded between 1383 and 1387 by Gazi Evrenos, the city developed into a cultural center during the Ottoman period of the 15th century.
The Folklore Museum, established in 1977, contains collections of traditional costumes, household items, and agricultural tools from the region.
The central pedestrian street contains numerous shops, banks, restaurants, and administrative buildings serving the population of 32,410 residents.
The draining of Giannitsa Lake in the early 20th century transformed the surrounding territory into agricultural land, increasing regional productivity.
