- Dimitsana | The "lordess" of mountainous Arcadia
Dimitsana or The "lordess" of Arcadia as they call her is located at an altitude of 946 meters in the heart of the Peloponnese, hooked in the arms of Mainalo and is the capital of the province of Gortynia in the prefecture of Arcadia.
Dimitsana is a stone-built settlement with remarkable mansions, most of which are restored today. The elegant and picturesque Dimitsana is a typical example of Arcadian architecture and is located in Gortynia, within walking distance of other equally beautiful settlements, such as Stemnitsa and Elliniko. The village is built amphitheatrically over the river Lucio, which generously feeds the rich nature that surrounds it.
The settlement has been characterized as protected, and the visitor has the opportunity to walk among the traditional stone houses, in cobbled alleys that lead to beautiful corners, where the view still reaches Megalopolis.
Dimitsana also has a glorious history, which is lost in the depths of the centuries. During the Homeric years, in its place was the small Arcadian city of Teuthis, while in the Revolution of 1821 it had intense activity, while it was the most important center for the supply of gunpowder.
The name Dimitsana is first mentioned in 967 AD. in a patriarchal document related to the Monastery of the Philosopher. In 1764 a wise monk, Agapios, built a library and transferred the books from the monastery. The library was constantly growing until 1821, because the Patriarchate gave new books as in Dimitsana there was a theological school that became known as the "Tutoring Center for Greek Letters". The school of Dimitsana operated from 1764 and many metropolitans and scholars graduated from it, among them Gregory V and the German of Old Patras. During the struggle of 1821, much of the library was destroyed because the Greeks needed paper to make cartridges.
Dimitsana played an important role in the Revolution of 1821 both because of the gunpowder mills and because of the important people of Dimitsana associated with it. Already in the years before the Revolution the Friendly Society had managed to establish a successful communication between the core of Tripoli and the wider area of Gortynia where there were several initiates. On the eve of the Revolution, Papaflessas, after his disagreement with the German of Old Patras and on his way to Messinia, ended up in Dimitsana at the Antonopoulos mansion, which was the son-in-law of Kanelos Deligiannis's sister.
There, according to oral tradition, a special swearing-in ceremony was held at the Gospel and a banquet which became known as the "Last Supper". A "conspiracy" was signed after which Papaflessas, dressed in a fustanella, left for Kalavrita. This historic building survives to this day while in the past it was a place of pilgrimage for various generals. Gennaios Kolokotronis in the elections of 1859 visited his political opponent Ant. Antonopoulos and on his knees kissed the ground of the historic hall saying in Greek «ευλαβής σιγή αρμόζει εν τη αιθούση εκείνη, ήτις πρώτη ήκουσε το μέγα μήνυμα, όπερ εκείθεν σκορπισθέν και θριαμβεύσαν, κατέστησε την Ελλάδα ελεύθερον βασίλειον …»
The abundant waters of the area gave it the power of water mobility, something that one can still admire today at the Open Air Museum of Hydrokinesis created in 1997 with the restoration of abandoned pre-industrial facilities, one of the most interesting and "living" museums in Greece and is located 2 km east of Dimitsana.This is a thematic museum that presents the ways of using water as an energy source for the production of various products. The visitor has the opportunity to see up close how the water mills worked, where the clothes were washed, the flour mill, the tannery for the processing of the skins and of course the gunpowder mill with clubs for the production of gunpowder.
It is worth visiting the old and new Monastery of the Philosopher which is located 30 minutes from Dimitsana on an unforgettable route. The old monastery is built in 963 AD, in a ravine above the river of Lucius, while very close to them you will find the new Monastery of the Philosopher. The Monastery played an important role in the preservation of the Greek historical and cultural heritage since in this and in the wider area there were several "hidden schools" during the dark period of Ottoman rule.
Dimitsana is an ideal destination for hikers and nature lovers, who will enjoy the exploration opportunities offered by the gorge of Lucius.
