Karditsa (Greek: Καρδίτσα) is a city in western Thessaly in mainland Greece. The city of Karditsa is the capital of Karditsa regional unit.
Inhabitation is attested from 9000 BC.
During the period of Ottoman rule in Thessaly, the main settlement in the location of modern Karditsa was called Sotira. In 1810, the English traveler William Martin Leake mentioned a sprawling village named Kardhítza, consisting of between 500-600 houses, of which the majority of the inhabitants were Turkish.
Karditsa was incorporated as a new city in 1882, the year after its liberation from the Ottoman Empire.

Georgios Karaiskakis (Greek: Γεώργιος Καραϊσκάκης) born Georgios Karaiskos (Greek: Γεώργιος Καραΐσκος) (January 23, 1780 or January 23, 1782 – April 23, 1827) was a famous Greek klepht, armatolos, military commander, and a hero of the Greek War of Independence.
Karaiskakis was born either in a monastery near the village of Mavrommati (Greek: Μαυρομμάτι), in the Agrafa mountains (located in what is now the Karditsa regional unit, Thessaly) or in a monastery near the village of Skoulikaria (Greek: Σκουληκαριά) close to Arta. At the start of the Greek War of Independence (1821–29), Karaiskakes commanded a detachment in western Greece. Later he led a detachment operating in the rear of the Turkish Army. In 1826 he was commander in chief of troops from mainland Greece that liberated a significant part of Central Greece in December of that year. He was killed in battle during the liberation of the Acropolis.
