Η Μονή Αγίας Τριάδος Λιβαδίου βρίσκεται στις ανατολικές πλαγιές του Τίταρου, απέναντι από τον Όλυμπο και κάτω από το χωριό Λιβάδι, σε υψόμετρο 1000 περίπου μέτρων. Είναι από τις παλιές μονές της Μητρόπολης Ελασσόνας. Οι βάσιμες ιστορικές μαρτυρίες και πληροφορίες για την ύπαρξη και λειτουργία της μονής είναι ελάχιστες και ξεκινούν από τις αρχές του 18ου αι. Ακριβή χρονολογία ιδρύσεως δεν την γνωρίζουμε. Πιθανόν να κτίστηκε κατά τον 17ο αι. μια αποχή άνθισης και ακμής του μοναχικού βίου στον θεσσαλικό χώρο και ιδιαίτερα στην επαρχία Ελασσόνας.
Η Ιερά Μονή Παναγίας Θεοτόκου Πυθίου γνωστή ως ναός της Παναγίας είναι ένας ιερός ναός στα νοτιοανατολικά του χωριού Πυθίου. Ο ναός σύμφωνα με την κτητορική επιγραφή, που βρίσκεται εσωτερικά του υπερθύρου της δυτικής θύρας του καθολικού, χρονολογείται το 1638. Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες ο ναός της Παναγίας, τα παλαιότερα χρόνια, ήταν μοναστήρι, ενώ σήμερα χρησιμοποιείται ως κοιμητηριακός.
Ο ιερός ναός Αγίας Τριάδος Παλαιοσκαμιάς βρίσκεται χτισμένος στο κέντρο του παλιού οικισμού της Παλαιοσκαμιάς, που καταστράφηκε από τους Γερμανούς το 1943.
Ο Ιερός Ναός των Αγίων Αναργύρων βρίσκεται στο χωριό Λιβάδι Λάρισας και χρονολογείται το 1760, σύμφωνα νε επιγραφή που βρίσκεται στην νότια πλευρά του ναού.
Ο Ιερός Ναός της Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου βρίσκεται χτισμένος στο βόρειο τμήμα του χωριού Λιβάδι. Στο υπέρθυρο της εισόδου υπάρχει σκαλισμένη επιγραφή «1886 ΜΑΪΟΥ 10». Πιθανόν δεν πρόκειται για την ημερομηνία ίδρυσης του Ναού αλλά ανακαινίσεώς του. Σύμφωνα με μαρτυρίες ο ναός προϋπήρχε αφού ήδη από το 1771 αναφέρεται από τον ηγούμενο Άνθιμο στον κώδικα της Ιεράς Μονής Παναγίας Ολυμπιωτίσσης. Η ανακαίνιση του ναού ήταν αποτέλεσμα καθίζησης και αυτό δικαιολογεί την ύπαρξη της επιγραφής 1886. Κατά το διάστημα που το Λιβάδι ήταν η έδρα της επισκοπής Πέτρας ο ναός της Παναγίας ήταν ο μητροπολιτικός ναός. Ο Ναός ανήκει στον αρχιτεκτονικό τύπο της τρίκλιτης βασιλικής με δίρριχτη στέγη και προέκταση στο νότιο και βόρειο τμήμα του.
Στα Βυζαντινά χρόνια η ακρόπολη του Πυθίου μεταφέρεται στον λόφο που βρίσκεται πάνω από το χωριό, προς τον Όλυμπο. Το χωριό παραμένει σημαντικό κατά την Βυζαντινή περίοδο, γεγονός που αποδεικνύεται από τα Μεταβυζαντινά Ασκηταριά που σώζονται εκεί. Σ΄ αυτά ασκήτευαν μοναχοί που επάνδρωσαν αργότερα τα μοναστήρια της περιοχής. Βρισκόταν υπό την διοικητική και οικονομική εποπτεία της Μονής Αγίας Τριάδας Σπαρμού Ολύμπου και Τσιμπίνου. Μ΄ αυτά ασχολήθηκε ο αρχαιολόγος Ν. Νικονάνος τα οποία και δημοσίευσε.
Ο Μύτικας είναι η υψηλότερη κορυφή του Ολύμπου και της Ελλάδος, δεύτερη υψηλότερη των Βαλκανίων, μετά τη Μουσαλά στη Βουλγαρία. Μέχρι πρόσφατα το ύψος του ανερχόταν στα 2917.85 μ., οι πιο πρόσφατες όμως μετρήσεις, που έγιναν από μια συνεργασία του Διεθνούς Πανεπιστημίου Ελλάδος, του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης και ξένων ιδρυμάτων, υπολογίζουν με ακρίβεια το ύψος του στα 2.917,727 μ.
Ο Εθνικός δρυμός Ολύμπου ιδρύθηκε το 1938 και περιλαμβάνει τις ψηλές κορυφές και τις βόρειες πλαγιές του βουνού. Η συνολική έκταση του εθνικού δρυμού φθάνει τα 3.933 εκτάρια. Πρόκειται για ένα από τα αξιολογότερα φυσικά μνημεία της Ελλάδας, αφού επιδεικνύει ένα περιβάλλον φυσικού κάλλους, με πλούσια χλωρίδα και πανίδα. Προσφέρεται για επιστημονικές έρευνες καθώς και για ένα πλήθος δραστηριοτήτων.

Ο Δήμος Λιβαδιού λειτούργησε ως δήμος από το 1999 έως το 2010 σύμφωνα με το Σχέδιο Καποδίστριας με έδρα το Λιβάδι.
Ο Τίταρος είναι βουνό της βόρειας Ελλάδας με υψόμετρο 1.839 μέτρα (κορυφή «Σάπκα»). Βρίσκεται στο νομό Πιερίας και το νομό Λάρισας· το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του βρίσκεται στο νομό Λάρισας. Μπορεί να θεωρηθεί τμήμα των Πιερίων με τα οποία συνδέεται στα βόρεια. Στα νότια συνδέεται με τα Καμβούνια όρη.
Η Άζωρος ορίζεται ως η δυτικότερη από τις τρεις πόλεις της Τριπολίτιδας. Τα ερείπια της Αζώρου βρίσκονται στα νότια της Βουβάλας, στην αριστερή όχθη του Σαρανταπόρου. Η θέση της προτιμήθηκε από την λίθινη εποχή και φαίνεται να κατοικήθηκε διαδοχικά μέχρι τα τέλη του 17ου αι. μ.Χ.
Η περιοχή της Περραιβικής Τρίπολης, η οποία οριζόταν από τον ποταμό Τιταρίσιο στο Νότο και από τα όρη Αμάρμπεη, Καμβούνια και Όλυμπο στο Βορρά, απαρτιζόταν από τις πόλεις Άζωρο, Δολίχη και Πύθιο. Οι πληροφορίες μας για την αρχαία ιστορία της περιοχής αυτής προέρχονται κυρίως από τον Ρωμαίο ιστορικό Τίτο Λίβιο. Με τις τελευταίες ανασκαφές βρέθηκε ‘ένα νόμισμα, το οποίο χρονολογείται στο τέλος του 4ου αιών π.Χ. και απεικονίζει στην μια όφη τρίαινα με την επιγραφή «Τριπολιτάν », και στην άλλη κεφαλή δαφνοστεφανωμένου Απόλλωνος. Οι σωστικές ανασκαφικές έρευνες που διενεργήθηκαν στις τρεις αυτές πόλεις πλούτισαν αρκετά τις γνώσεις μας για τις σχέσεις τους με την Μακεδονία. Με τις σημαντικότατες ιστορικές επιγραφές που βρέθηκαν τεκμηριώνεται πλήρως η ομοσπονδία τους ωστόσο αποτελούσαν το κοινό των Τριπολιτών με πρωτεύουσα το Πύθιο, όπου υπήρχε το πανάρχαιο ιερό του Απόλλωνος Πυθίου. Από το 1985 είχε προταθεί η θέση της αρχαίας Δολίχης νοτιοανατολικά του Σαρανταπόρου και σύμφωνα με ένα δίγλωσσο που βρέθηκε το 1997 η πρόταση αυτή επιβεβαιώθηκε, κατά την άποψη του αρχαιολόγου Αθανάσιου Τζιαφάλια.
Ο Αρχαιολογικός χώρος Μηλέας βρίσκεται Βορειανατολικά της Αζώρου και σε μικρή απόσταση από το Δημοτικό Διαμέρισμα της Μηλεάς του σημερινού Δήμου Σαρανταπόρου. Σο 1998 ξεκίνησε η ανασκαφική έρευνα και ολοκληρώθηκε το 2002. Η έκταση που ερευνήθηκε καταλαμβάνει περίπου 3.000 τ.μ. και αποκαλύφθηκε τρίκλιτη Βασιλική με νάρθηκα και αίθριο. Tα δάπεδα των κλιτών καθώς και του Ιερού Βήματος δεν σώθηκαν.
Το Καστρί βρίσκεται 3 χιλιόμετρα δυτικά της Δολίχης στο αριστερό άκρο του λόφου όπου εντοπίστηκαν ελάχιστα ίχνη κόγχης ιερού. Το 2002 η 7η Εφορία Βυζαντινών αρχαιοτήτων ξεκίνησε την ανασκαφική της έρευνα. Στην πρώτη φάση της ανασκαφής αποκαλύφθηκε το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του ναού και ο νάρθηκας που ως ημερομηνία κτίσης φαίνεται η 5 Σεπτεμβρίου του 553 και η αβεβαιότητα χρονολόγησης είναι +- 24 έτη.

The ancient city is placed in the south firth of the Bourboulithra stream. In the northwest of Skiti there are the ruins of a fort which most probably belonged to the Byzantine city of Kentavroupoli. About 1 kilometer Northwest of Skiti, (on the new road that leads from Larissa to Agiokampos) is the monastery of mount Kelli, called Sts. Anargiroi.

The Macedonians were led by their king, Perseus of Macedon, while the Roman force was led by the consul Publius Licinius Crassus. The Macedonians were supported by Cotys IV, the king of the Odrysian kingdom (the largest state in Thrace) and his forces, Cretan mercenaries, and auxiliaries of mixed nationalities. The Romans had their Italian allies with them and were supported by soldiers provided by Eumenes II of Pergamon, as well as a force of Thessalian cavalry and Greek allies. The battle saw the deployment of troops with cavalry intermixed with light infantry. Although the battle was actually inconclusive because Perseus withdrew before it came to a conclusion, it was considered a Macedonian victory because the Romans suffered heavy casualties.
