Pellana (; Greek: ἡ Πέλλανα; τὰ Πέλλανα; Πελλήνη; Agis), was a city of ancient Lacedaemonia, on the Eurotas river, and on the road from Sparta to Arcadia.
Pellana is now a village and a municipal unit of the municipality of Sparti, Greece. It was a municipality until the 2011 local government reform. The municipalRead more
unit has an area of 153.763 km2. The seat of the municipality was in Kastoreio. It was called Καλύβια Γεωργίτσι Kalivia Georgitsi (lit. the huts of Georgitsi) until it was renamed after a nearby ancient city in 1932.
Though the site of modern Pellana was clearly occupied in antiquity, it is probably not the site of the ancient Pellana mentioned by Pausanias and other ancient authors. The ancient Pellana was more likely near the modern Sellasia.
