    Pigadia

    The small, mountainous village of Pigadia is located northeast of Altomira and is 27 kilometres from Kalamata. It is built at an altitude of 927 metres. It is said to have been created during the Turkish occupation by persecuted Epirotians descended from the Five Pigadia (Wells) of Ioannina.

    The oldest findings in the area date from the end of the Neolithic period (3,000 BC-2500 BC). In particular, it is a stone axe, part of a human lower jaw with two teeth, mammal bones, as well as several fragments of clay vessels that were found by chance, in 1954, in a cave, at the "Kokkinochoma" location. Also, at the "Scoutari" location, in the Dragon Cave (also known as the Fairy Cave), clay figurines and fragments of household utensils were found.

    In Pigadia, the temple of Panmegisto Taxiarches, which celebrates the first Sunday of September and, on that day, a famous traditional festival is held, dominates the village. The dry river of Sadova, which ends at a pebbly shore near Kitries, starts from the village. Along the dry river, the Ridomos gorge is formed, also known as the Koskarakas gorge. In fact, the famous double-stone Pigadiotiko bridge is preserved, as well as old cobblestones that connected the villages.
