The Aetorrachi Battle monument is near the village, on an accessible hill. Every year, on 1 December, or the last Sunday of November, residents and authorities pay tribute to those killed in the battle. This battle given was most significant in the effort to liberate Ioannina. During the 1st Balkan War, the Ottoman forces had established an advanced defence line, which was part of the fortifications of Ioannina. On 29 November 1912, two Evzonoi battalions and a battery fought for 30 hours and forced the enemy to retreat so that the Greek troops could advance towards Bizani.

The battle of Aetorrachi lasted about 9 days, from the 1st to the 9th of December 1912 and the victory of the Greek army was decisive for the Bizani battle that ensued. The National History Museum in Athens exhibits a chromolithograph, a tableau representing the scale of the battle, titled “The Great Battle of Aetorrachi, in Epirus and the bravery of the Evzonoi of the 7th and 10th Battalion on 1 December 1912”.
