The village has a school, a historical library, several churches, a post office, an open-air water-power museum,[4] an open amphitheater, hotels and a square.

The first gunpowder mills of the town were built under the guise of home industry in the middle of the 18th century by Bishop Ananias Lakedaimonias, who paved a revolt against the Turks.

The library was growing constantly until 1821, as the Patriarchate offered new books and there was a seminary, known as Φροντιστήριο Ελληνικών Γραμμάτων (Tuition Centre of Greek Literature).

A lot of bishops and scholars graduated from it, among them Patriarch Gregory V of Constantinople and Germanos III of Old Patras, whose houses have survived in the town.

After the Orlov events, some inhabitants of Dimitsana bearing the name "Tasoulis" (Greek: Τασούλης) migrated to Minor Asia fleeing the Albanian ravaging of Peloponnese.

The statue of Patriarch Gregory V dominates in the central square and also the family houses of both him and Germanos III of Old Patras can be seen.
