The commercial ties between Siatista and Central Europe during 17th and 18th centuries were very successful, and allowed the inhabitants to build many mansions and churches with wonderful frescos and icons.

Those who chose to return built large thick-walled mansions with imposing doors, lavishly decorated "ondas", stained glasses, and lively colours in the folk paintings on their walls.

Demeter's award for drama which established 35 years after his death (1872) stood until nowadays and his bust decorates the yard of the Croatian National Theater in Zagreb.

In March 1943, the Battle of Fardykambos was fought near the town between the Royal Italian Army and the partisans of EAM-ELAS, with the participation of many of the local inhabitants.

Local artisans and furriers in Siatista are renowned for their specialized skills in working with a variety of high-quality furs, including mink, fox, sable, and chinchilla.
