Preveza

Preveza is a city capital of the synonymous prefectures of Greece. It is within the Epirus periphery. It is one of the prefectures that have no provinces. The city and the district has been planning a bridge which will connect traffic between Preveza and Thesprotia and Lefkada and western Aetolia in Aetoloacarnania because the ferry route is short. Preveza lies near the western part of the Ambracian Gulf.

The population of the municipality was 19605 in 2001.

Ephebe of Preveza

Preveza was founded probably in the 11th century. It was part of the Despotat of Epirus. In 1449 it was part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1500 it was conquered by the Venetians, 30 years later again the Ottomans were able to gain the control. From 1718 to 1797 Preveza was again ruled by the Venetians, for a short time by France and then by Ali Pasha and the Ottomans again until finally it was liberated 21 October 1912 by the Greek army.
