Ptolemaida, Our Town

Ptolemaida belongs to the prefecture of Kozani in West Macedonia, in Greece. What characterizes our town are its electric plants. The electric plants pollute the environment. Ptolemaida took its name from Ptolemeus, one of Alexander’s the Great general. The oldest building in Ptolemaida is the aquaduct. This building gives us water. In the centre of Ptolemaida there is a big square where we go for a walk. Around the central square there are a lot of shops. Each year we celebrate the liberation of Ptolemaida from the Turks on October 15th. We like Ptolemaida because it has a lot of parks and we can play with our friends.
