Varousi is located on the outskirts of the Fortress on the NE side of the city of Trikala and together with the Manavika district is the “Old Town”.The name "Varousi" was used throughout the Balkans, characterizing settlements that developed outside and around a castle and were the affluent, Christian and self-governing district of the city.The old houses of Varousi and the numerous churches reflect the economic and cultural flourishing of the 18th and 19th centuries, which resulted from the development of trade and handicrafts and made Varousi a noble neighbourhood of Trikala.The old houses of the district date from the 17th to the 19th century.The building materials of the houses are stone, wood, reeds, plaster and plinths. The houses have "sachnisia" (closed covered space that protrudes from the trunk of the building), “tsatmates” (light wooden construction), inner courtyards with high fences, front doors with knockers, and wells for water supply. The houses communicated with small doors or stairs inside each other, so that (in case of danger) the residents would be notified.In Varousi are the oldest churches of the city, which are built very close to each other in the alleys of the district. If you are at the top of the clock of Trikala that you see if you raise your head to the Fortress you can have a panoramic view of Varousi and the whole city of Trikala. There are many surviving temples in Varousi, including those of Saint Stefanos where the first church, which was destroyed by fire, was built by Symeon Ouresis Palaiologos during the 14th century and was for most of the Turkish occupation the seat of the Metropolitan of Larissa.The current church is a building from 1882 of Agios Nikolaos (1948), which has been the metropolitan church of Trikala since 1967.The glamour of the Varousi district was overshadowed by the city's expansion, which included the construction of new mansions of neoclassical character around the end of the 19th century. Since 1979, the Varousi district has been declared a protected area.
