Velestino ({{lang-el|Βελεστίνο}}) is an Aromanian (Vlach) town in the Magnesia regional unit, Thessaly, Greece. It is the seat of the municipality Rigas Feraios.

Location

It is situated at {{convert|120|m}} elevation[1] on a hillside, at the southeastern end of the Thessalian Plain. It is {{convert|17|km|abbr=on}} west of Volos and 40 km southeast of Larissa. Velestino has a train station on the local line from Larissa to Volos.[2] The Motorway 1 (Athens - Larissa - Thessaloniki) passes east of the town. The Greek writer and revolutionary Rigas Feraios was born in Velestino in 1757.[3]

History

Velestino is built on the site of ancient Pherae.[4] The ancient settlement is still attested in early Byzantine times, but was apparently abandoned following the Slavic invasions of the 7th century.[5]

The current settlement appears with its current name—probably of Slavic origin[6]—for the first time in 1208, in a letter by Pope Innocent III mentioning its Frankish ruler, Berthold of Katzenelnbogen.[5] In {{circa|1213}} it was part of the jurisdiction of the Latin bishop of Gardiki, Bartholomew (Cardicensis episcopus et Valestinensis).[5] At about the same time, it became a Greek Orthodox episcopal see as well, being attested thereafter in episcopal lists and acts of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.[5] In 1259 an imperial estate (kouratoria) is attested in the area, as part of the province (thema) of Halmyros; by the 1280s, Velestino itself is listed as a separate thema.[5] Very few traces remain of the medieval town today.[5]

Under the Ottoman Empire, Velestino was called Velestin and was the seat of a kaza within the Sanjak of Tirhala.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}

With the rest of Thessaly, Velestino was ceded to Greece in 1881 by the Convention of Constantinople.

The Battle of Velestino was fought here during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.
