Asimochori actually means the village of the silversmiths. Built at 970m, the village creatively overcame the economic deadlock of the limited agricultural resources by developing technical skills. The whole male population were specialised silversmiths and carpenters. Unfortunately, in 1950 the village became one of the centres of the violent Greek Civil War and many of the buildings were destroyed. Although, a few, religious mainly, monuments are preserved and they stand in our days as reminders of the great historical and cultural past.
