Patella is a historic hill that attracts many climbers for religious reasons.

The hill once housed the ancient city of Rizinia, and remnants of this city still linger in the area, providing tangible evidence of the Minoan civilisation's existence.

Every year, on 26^th and 27^th July, devout individuals ascend to the hill's highest and most remote point. Here stands the small church of Agios Panteleimonas, and a festival is held in his honour.
