Kastoria
Kastoria (Greek: Καστοριά Kastoriá [kastoriˈa]) is a city in northern Greece in the region of West Macedonia. It is the capital of Kastoria regional unit. It is situated on a promontory on the western shore of Lake Orestiada, in a valley surrounded by limestone mountains. The town is known for its many Byzantine churches, Ottoman-era domestic architecture, fur clothing industry, and trout.
Name
The name Kastoria first appears at the end of the 10th century, though a town existed on the site since at least the sixth century.[1] There are several theories about the origin of the name Kastoria.[2] The dominant of these is that the name derives from the Greek word κάστορας (kástoras, meaning beaver). Trade in the animal's fur, sourced from nearby Lake Orestiada, has traditionally been an important element of the city's economy. Other theories propose that the name derives from the Greek word κάστρο (kástro, meaning castle; from the Latin word castra) or from the mythical hero Κάστωρ (Kástōr), who may have been honoured in the area. The word is sometimes written with a C, Castoria,[3] especially in older works.

Μουσείο Απολιθωμένου Δάσους, Νόστιμο Καστοριάς / Petrified Forest of Nostimo, Kastoria, Greece
Το 1935 κάτοικος της περιοχής, εξορύσσοντας λιγνίτη, διαπίστωσε την ύπαρξη απολιθωμένων κορμών και θαλάσσιων απολιθωμάτων. Εξήντα χρόνια μετά, ο καθηγητής Παλαιοντολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών Ευάγγελος Βελιτζέλος πραγματοποιεί την πρώτη επίσκεψη στην περιοχή και τον Ιούνιο 1997 ξεκινούν επίσημα οι ανασκαφές. Οι ερευνητές έφεραν στο φως το απολιθωμένο δάσος ηλικίας 27-23 εκατομμυρίων ετών. Ειδικοί επιστήμονες καταλήγουν σ΄αυτό το συμπέρασμα ύστερα από πολύχρονη επιστημονική τεκμηρίωση των ευρημάτων που ανάγονται στην Προανθρώπινη εποχή την πρώτη περίοδο του Καινοζωϊκού αιώνα όπως δόντια καρχαρία, μύδια, αστερίες, κοχύλια, σαλιγκάρια, τροπικά και υποτροπικά είδη βλάστησης σε άριστη απολίθωση.
