Antiquities from the prehistoric to the Byzantine period have been unearthed in many sectors of the city.
In the east part of Kozani, an ancient necropolis has been found, dating to the early Iron Age.
During Philip II of Macedon's reign, the region was named Elimeia, which was part of Upper Macedonia and probably in the same place there was a town named Tyrissa.
In the south-west of the modern city, on Siopoto hill, there was a settlement named Kalyvia, between 1100 and 1300, traces of which are still preserved.
