In a building, which is preserved to this day, in the small monastery of Ag. Ali Pasha fled to the island of Lake Pamvotida (which has today been turned into a museum) with a few devotees and Mrs. Vasiliki. According to tradition, the castle of Ioannina was connected to the Island of Ioannina by an underground tunnel.
There the epilogue of his turbulent life was written when a caique full of Hursit Pasha's soldiers came to negotiate a firman - pardon, but when they got under the floor of the onda, they shot and killed him. After a fierce battle on January 17, 1822, a general massacre followed. Ali Pasha's head was sent to the Sultan. The lady - Vasiliki was also sent to the sultan, who was later released and finally died in Messolonghi, Aitoliko. On the floor of the Ali Pasha Museum, the holes from the bullets that killed Ali Pasha can be seen. The visitor will still see several objects from that time in the museum.
