Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KASTORIA (Turkish Kesrie) , a city of Macedonia, European Turkey, in the vilayet of
Monastir
 , 45 M. S. by W. of
Monastir
  (Bitolia). Pop. (1905), about ro,000, one-third of whom are Greeks, one-third Slays, and the
remainder
  Albanians or Turks.
Kastoria
  occupies
part
  of a peninsula on the western shore of Lake
Kastoria
 , which here receives from the north its affluent the Zhelova. The lake is formed in a deep hollow surrounded by limestone mountains, and is drained on the
south
  by the Bistritza, a large river which flows S.E. nearly to the Greek frontier, then sharply turns N.E., and finally enters the Gulf of
Salonica
 . The lake has an area of 20 sq. M., and is 2850 ft. above sea-level. Kastoria is the seat of an Orthodox archbishop. It is usually identified with the ancient Celetrum, captured by the Romans under Sulpicius, during the first Macedonian campaign, 200 B.C.,
the Luba-Lunda group of Bantus. It is a highly mineralized region, being specially
rich
  in copper ore. Gold, iron and tin are also
mined
 . Katanga is bounded S. and S.E. by Northern Rhodesia, and British
capital
  is largely interested in the development of its resources, the administration of the territory being entrusted to a committee on which British members have seats. Direct railway communication with Cape Town and Beira was established in 1909. There is also a rail and river service via the Congo to the west
coast
 . (See CONGO FREE STATE.)
