About the village<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

According to the website <\/a>of Konitsa municipality, previously there were three settlements there, Staritsa, Selo, and Anargiroi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village took its name from the first settlement because of the wheat fields spread out around it.\u00a0Then, in 1928 it was renamed Pournia because it was considered that the word Staritsiani was foreign and mainly Slavic \u2013 (Staritsiani from Staristan that means old village).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not known when Pournia was founded for the first time. However, no one doubts that it is the offspring of another village called \u201cTrapia\u201d (from the word atrapos). This was built on the site of today\u2019s Trapia.<\/p>\n\n\n

Also, the residents believe that current Pourniotes are descendants of Aryan people. Trapia was one of the largest villages in that period, with 300 families and 1,200 residents, who were engaged in farming and building. But the plague (14th-16th century) forced them to move so the village deserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Turkish occupation it seems that it was a large village in Kaza (Vilayet, Province) of Konitsa with cobbled streets and 552 inhabitants according to the Ottoman Statistics 1895 reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to see <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shortly before the village the visitor meets the Black Stone bridge<\/strong> that bridges the stream of Saint Anargiroi passing through that point and ending in Sarantaporo<\/strong>. It\u2019s a nice bridge built probably in 1853 and in very good condition. The imposing rock next features the iconography of the Almighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
