Pavliani (Greek: ΠαÏλιανη) is a village on Mount Oeta, and a former community in Phthiotis, Greece.
It is divided into two settlements, Pavliani proper or Ano Pavliani (Άνω ΠαÏλιανη) and Nea Pavliani (ÎÎα ΠαÏλιανη) or Kato Pavliani (Κάτω ΠαÏλιανη). Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality of Lamia, of which it is a municipal unit. Population was 498 in the 2011 census, of whom 367 in Ano Pavliani and 131 in Kato Pavliani.[1]
The ruins of the medieval town of Siderokastron are located to the east of the village.[2] The village was also the site of the Battle of Pavliani on 3 June 1943, by the forces of the Greek Resistance against an Italian army column. A monument dedicated to the fallen of the battle stands at the entrance of Kato Pavliani.
