Aided by the Community Initiative LEADER+, the final works in the interior of the building, where the museum is accommodated were carried out. Also, office equipment was bought and the surrounding space was reformed. The winning battle of Lazarades took place on October 9th 1912. The greek forces moved united against the enemy forces at the passes of Sarandaporo. Then, the forces retracted at the location of “Stena Portes” and Prosilio, forcing the turkish phalanx that moved towards Lazarades to emergently retreat.
The quick victory at those battles uplifted the morale of men and opened the gates for further onward march of the Greek Army and the deliverance of Western and Central Macedonia, after five centuries of slavery. A celebration takes place every year in Lazarades, in which all the administrative, military and ecclesiastic authorities participate.
The museum hosts a permanent exposition of photographs and a model of the historical battle of Lazarades.
