'''Edessa''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Έδεσσα) is an ancient town of 25,000 inhabitants in northern [[Greece]], the capital of the [[Pella prefecture]] of [[Macedonia]] and is also the provincial capital of the province of the same name. The name ''Edessa'' was ascribed an Illyrian origin by U. Wilcken, in his biography of [[Alexander the Great]] (noted by Walter Bauer 1934; 1971; ch. 1), the "town of the waters", due to its copious water resources and its tourist attraction of the waterfalls, located in the actual town center. It is similarly known as '''Vodena''' (Slavic: Voda, "water"). The Ancient Macedonian name ''Edessa'' was commemorated by [[Seleucus I Nicator]] in refounding an ancient city in northern Mesopotamia.

Edessa is also the home of the Marketing and Administration Department of the [[University of Macedonia]].
