Church of Agios Dimitrios Polydrosos
Just as the beginning of our village is unknown and we only try to understand it with assumptions, the same happens with the Church. The only historical evidence we have is the date 1577, which is also written on a pre-existing wall of the church.
Folklore Museum of Polydroso
The Philoproodos Association of Polydrositans founded the first Folklore Museum of the Prefecture of Thesprotia in 1971. The collection began with objects from the then-under-renovation church of Agios Dimitrios. The Museum's exhibition was renovated in 1993. Until the expansion in 1998, it had only one room for the exhibition of objects, measuring 21 sq.m. Since then, it has had three rooms with a total area of about 80 sq.m. and a warehouse.
