Geography - History
Kato Grammatiko is located on the border with the regional unit of Florina. It is built on the northern slopes of Vermion at an altitude of 820 meters[2] and southeast of Lake Vegoritida. It is 28 km. SW. of Edessa and 41 km. NE. of Ptolemaida. The old name of the village, until 1927, was Grammatikovo[3] and during the period of Turkish rule, the population was mixed, and in the 1923 census the Muslim population was 510 people. After the population exchange, refugees from Pontus settled there, who ended up here after quarantine in Karabournaki, Thessaloniki, Giannitsa and Foufas, Eordaias.[4] According to the EAP, initially 47 families, 186 people, were settled as refugees.[5]
In Kato Grammatiko, the Patriarch of Constantinople Chrysanthos was born in 1768. In 1807, he founded a theological school with the Hellenist hieromonk Dionysios Prodromitis as director and endowed the school with his own capital, while the teachers were paid from the interest.[4] The post-Byzantine tower and the church of Agios Georgios are considered sights, which have been designated as protected monuments.[6] The tower is a "fortress quadrilateral structure (dimensions 6.50X6.00m) from the Ottoman period (probably the 17th century), which is preserved at a height of two floors".[7] Southeast of the village there is an artificial lake 16 meters deep from which it is irrigated. The project began in the spring of 1998 and was completed in 2000.
Administrative
It is officially referred to as Grammatikovo after the liberation in 1918 in the Government Gazette 260A - 31/12/1918 to designate the seat of the newly founded community of the same name, which initially belonged administratively to the then Kailaria District, in the Prefecture of Kozani. In 1927, with the Government Gazette 18A - 01/02/1927, it was renamed Kato Grammatiko, remaining in the Prefecture of Kozani,[8] while in 1946, with the administrative changes and the establishment of new prefectures in the country, the settlements of Kato Grammatiko, Ano Grammatiko and Perea were detached from the Eordeia District of the Prefecture of Kozani, and became definitively part of the Edessa District, of the Prefecture of Pella. According to the Kallikratis program, together with Ano Grammatiko they form the local community of Grammatiko which belongs to the Municipal Unit of Vegoritida of the Municipality of Edessa and according to the 2011 census as a community it has a population of 194 inhabitants, while as a settlement 183.[9]
