'''Ardameri''' ({{langx|el|Αρδαμέρι}}) is a village in the [[Thessaloniki (regional unit)|regional unit of Thessaloniki]] of [[Greece]], at the foot of Mount [[Chortiatis]], on the site of the medieval settlement of '''Ardamerion''' (Αρδαμέριον).

== History ==
Ardamerium itself was destroyed during the [[Ottoman conquest of Thessaloniki]] in 1430. It was again destroyed in the 1821 suppression of the Macedonian uprising, led by [[Emmanouel Pappas]], during the [[Greek War of Independence]].

The modern village is situated 38 km east of [[Thessaloniki]]. It is part of the municipal unit of [[Koroneia, Thessaloniki|Koroneia]], which also includes the villages of Agios Vasileios, Gerakarou, Vasiloudi and [[Lagkadikia]].

It is a traditional Greek village with scattered houses and a maze of pathways often leading to a dead end. The village has some 900 registered voters, but only 125 permanent inhabitants.

== Ecclesiastical history ==
As a city in the [[Roman province]] of [[Macedonia Prima]], it was important enough to become a [[suffragan]] bishopric of the [[Metropolis of Thessalonica]].

In the ''[[Notitia Episcopatuum]]'' of [[Byzantine Emperor]] [[Leo VI the Wise]] (886–912) the bishopric of "Herculea, that is Ardamerion" is mentioned as the seventh in rank among the sees subordinate to Thessalonica.<ref name="LeQuien">{{cite book | first = Michel | last = Le Quien | authorlink = Michel Le Quien | title = Oriens christianus in quatuor Patriarchatus digestus | location = Paris | year = 1740 | volume = II | at = coll. 97 | url = {{Gbook|86weAemI-e4C|page=97|plainurl=yes}} }}</ref>

Bishop Meletius, who signed the acts of the 1638 synod in Constantinople that condemned [[Cyril Lucaris]] for not having disowned the [[Calvinist]] ''Eastern Confession of the Christian Faith'' attributed to him, was bishop of Ardameri.<ref name="LeQuien"/>

Today it is part of the [[Metropolis of Ierissos, Mount Athos and Ardameri]], which depends from the [[Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople]] in the "New Lands" of Greece, administered by the [[Church of Greece]].

In 1933, "Ardamerium" ({{langx|it|Ardamerio}}) was established by the [[Catholic Church]] as a [[titular see]]. It has never had an incumbent.<ref name="GCatholic">{{cite web | url = http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/former/t0183.htm | title = Titular Episcopal See of Ardamerium | publisher = GCatholic.org | accessdate = 21 December 2018}}</ref>
