'''Tsaritsani''' (originally '''Melouna''') is a town in the community of the same name in [[Larisa prefecture]], [[Thessaly]], [[Greece]].

Up until recent times, Tsaritsani belonged to [[Elassona]] municipality. It is built on the foothills of [[Mount Olympus]] very close to [[Elassona]].

Prior to the [[First Balkan War]], Tsaritsani stood on the border of Greece and the Ottoman Empire hence the phrase "The Greece of Melouna". In the [[Second World War]] the town suffered an attack by the Italian occupation forces: on [[March 12]], [[1943]], 40 of its inhabitants were executed and 360 homes were burnt.

Tsaritsani was the home town of singer [[Sophia Vembo]] - originally a refugee from [[Eastern Thrace]] - and 19th century clergyman [[Constantine Oikonomou of the Oikonomoi]].
