At the centre of the little town of Métsovo, rising in tiers on a hillside, there is a vast esplanade shaded by huge plane trees; nearby is the Church of Agía Paraskeví, which contains a rich 18C iconostasis (a screen separating the nave from the rest of the sanctuary) carved with flamboyant motifs.

This museum devoted to local folk art is housed in the Tositsa family residence (Michael Tositsa, 1787-1858, founded the Polytechnic in Athens). The interior has been richly adorned with carved woodwork (in particular the ceilings), furnished with carpets and embroidered textiles and decorated with gold ornaments, beaten copperware and icons. The reception room is particularly impressive with its divans and monumental samovar.

The huge citadel overlooking the lake is surrounded by a wall built during the despotate of Epiros (13C) and restored by Ali Pasha, who ruled over Albania and Epiros (1741-1822). It was inhabited by the Turks, and from the 17C by the Jews, but is now almost deserted; it has retained an eastern flavour with its little streets, overhanging roofs and former mosques; Ali Pasha had his palace here on top of the rock.
