Filippiada (Greek: Φιλιππιάδα) is a small town and a former municipality in the Preveza regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
There are many sites such as Saint Bessarion Church, the monument in honor of the fighters of the Battle of Bizani, and Lake Ziros.
[5] The church of Panagia Pantanassa was erected in the 13th century by Despot of Epirus, Michael II Komnenos Doukas.
[6] Its south portico is decorated with donor portraits of the Despot of Epirus, Nikephoros I, his wife, Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene, and their son Thomas.
[7] The Ottoman authorities founded in 1880-81 a new settlement between the already existing villages of Filippiada and Eleftherochori which became the administrative center of kaza of Louros.
At the instigation of the Ottoman state it was formed as an exclusively Muslim settlement and as late as 1911 no non-Muslims were allowed to operate in the town.
[12] Crown prince Constantine personally took command of the Greek army of Epirus and was stationed in the town on January 13, 1913.
