History

On 24 January 2020 the town was impacted by a magnitude 6.7 earthquake.
In 2025, archaeologists uncovered a Byzantine mosaic floor featuring geometric and interlaced designs, such as wave, cross, and infinity patterns. The mosaic also bears a Greek inscription reading "Tittos Domestikos". The name Tittos likely refers to an individual, while Domestikos is recognized in Byzantine texts as a military or ecclesiastical title. This indicates that the structure may have been associated with a local official or administrator.
