Ihe impressive Municipal Market building is perhaps the only remaining building of the architectural style known as the "Modern Movement" based on the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It has a square floor plan and consists of four independent sections in a C shape, on which the metal frame of the roof rests. It functions as a cultural space (where exhibitions and presentations are held), entertainment, and also as a shopping cent.
Fanari Castle is a little-visited hilltop fortress in Thessaly with sweeping views across the plains toward Trikala and Karditsa. Likely of Byzantine origin, it preserves substantial defensive walls, towers, and a large internal cistern, making it one of the region’s more atmospheric medieval sites.
Designed by a French architect, Domotel Arni is one of the first hotels in the Balkans (it welcomed its first guests in 1921) and it is a rare sample of rococo architecture.
