a legendary past builds story after storyin one city

14

The streets you walk down today still echo with the gallop of ancient legends such as King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. This is the co-reigning city of the Byzantine Empire –in our thousand year old churches you will still hear the same hymns and psalms today. Go back to the Ottomans’ prime in the 16th century, and feel the tides of change as western ideas merge with eastern traditions in this major urban centre. Thessaloniki is the theatre in which the awe-inspiring play of history is performed by a constant movement of cultures. Rejoice in it.

THE LAND OF MACEDONSThe city was founded around 315 B.C. by King Cassander of Macedonia, who named it after his wife, Thessaloniki, the sister of Alexander the Great and princess of Macedonia. Under his reign the city was walled to protect itself from barbarian attacks -you can see these great walls in Ano Poli (the upper city). A trading post and harbour, Thessaloniki added strength and vitality to Vergina, the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedon, to Pella, the epicentre of Macedonian splendour, and to the city of Dion, the magnificent ceremonial centre. This land instilled the valour of Alexander the Great who led the epic campaign of the Asian conquest all the way to India.

bravo!

THE BYZANTINE EMPIREDuring the Byzantine era (from 324 A.C. to 1430), Thessaloniki grew even more, becoming the “co-reigning” city of the Byzantine Empire, in terms of wealth and size. This is the time of the great mosaics - an ancient art now developed to perfection. This is also the time of vibrant social life and flourishing trade, great architecture and of religious piety and churches, like the Church of Saint Sofia and Rotunda, being two of the fifteen World Heritage Monuments of UNESCO, located in Thessaloniki.

Byzantium rules!

HERE COME THE ROMANS!The Roman period -2nd century B.C.- added a great number of magnificent monuments that we still admire today, such as the Rotunda, the Galerius Arch (Kamara) and the Ancient Forum (Agora).

ENTER THE OTTOMANSA new era begins in 1432 with the fall of the Byzantines under the military might of the Ottomans from the East. Thessaloniki thrives as an economic centre, new housing and fortifications are built - among them the White Tower, the most famous landmark of Thessaloniki. People from different origins and nations, like the Sephardic Jews, feel at home here and add to the city’s multicultural identity.

INDEPENDENCE DAY!In 1912, as the decaying Ottoman Empire retreated from the European continent, the city was incorporated into the newly founded Greek state following the glorious revolution of the Greeks in 1821. A few years later, Eleftherios Venizelos, the visionary Greek Prime Minister, formed a new government here and for a short period made Thessaloniki the base of his government.

great times!

17

A NEW CITY ON THE WAY!The end of World War II inaugurated a period of reconstruction, which changed the city’s character, bringing it closer to the modern European reality.

A MULTICULTURAL HEART EMBRACES ALLThe city’s unique spirit is a result of its multicultural heart. Greeks, Jews, Armenians and Ottomans lived together for almost 500 years, forming a city rich in different cultural values. Tastes, languages, traditions and beliefs were mixed in harmony, creating the colourful present you experience so many years later. The signs of this multicultural gift are visible today, wherever you look: the monuments, the arts, the recipes. That is why when exploring Thessaloniki you get the chance to uncover so many different and exciting stories.

love is the word!

Thessaloniki should highlight its Byzantine past… it is one of the things that the city needs to do as the first real “European” town.

A LIVELY STUDENT COMMUNITYThessaloniki has the biggest student community in Greece with 1/10th of its population being students and university professors. Aristotle University -one of the oldest in Greece- and the University of Macedonia are the largest institutions of higher education in the country. Here also is the International Hellenic University, as well as the Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki.

EUROPEAN YOUTH CAPITAL 2014!Thessaloniki will be the host of the European Youth Capital 2014, proving that apart from a great historic past, the city has a dynamic present and a promising future!

students rock!

Thessaloniki’s legendary past and its unique mix of cultures shape a lively present; a strong student community and teams of young creatives keep the city spirit fresh –the reason Thessaloniki will be the host of the European Youth Capital 2014! New ideas are visible all around and it could not be any other way given that the city is part of the European Union’s Innovation Zone and a centre of major international institutions. The city of number ones –the first ever radio show and TV broadcast in Greece took place here– also hosts a great variety of international events –Thessaloniki International Film Festival brings together movies from all around the world– forming a place full of art.

CREATIVIVITYIn recent years a great number of local groups have created a unique force of creativity, keeping the city spirit alive and kicking! Street performances, cultural events and innovative happenings -Aristotelous street transformed into a sandy beach for a whole day- reenergize the city streets, transforming everyday moments into unique experiences!

THE CITY OF NUMBER ONES!Thessaloniki has kept the best out of every culture that evolved in its core, becoming the city of number ones. It was the first city in Greece to transmit a radio show in 1926 (created by Christos Tsigiridis) and a TV show –back in 1961, in the course of the 25th International Trade Fair of Thessaloniki, and the first one to form a private TV station –Channel 3, in 1964. Thessaloniki Song Festival has its roots here too and so does the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The State Theatre of Northern Greece –one of the oldest Greek institutes– is also to be found in Thessaloniki.

SCIENCE CENTRE AND TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM“NOESIS”It is one of the most high-tech museums in Greece and Southeastern Europe, featuring a planetarium, a star theatre and a motion simulator with 3D projection, as well as several exhibition spaces.

A METROPOLIS OF INNOVATIONAs an attractive metropolis, the city belongs to the European Union’s Innovation Zone, meaning an area designed to house innovative enterprises and research organizations, contributing to the economic growth of the entire region. Also, Thessaloniki is the centre of Cedefop, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training and Black Sea Trade and Development Bank, BSTDB.

THE MOSAIC OF OUR HEARTS!Mosaic is the technique of creating images with small pieces of coloured glass or stone. This specific form of art is valuable knowledge passed on by ancient Greece, the Macedon legacy, Byzantium and the Romans. Today the word mosaic is used to express Thessaloniki’s multicultural character –small bits of many cultures, shaping one multicultural heart. Thessaloniki’s new city logo can also be viewed as a mosaic, bringing together the city’s numerous features.

This is what I want: Thessaloniki to become the most beautiful European Capital of Culture.

A THRIVING STREET CULTURE!The streets are buzzing with energy. Youthful spirit is the strength that keeps the city going. Graffiti is one of the city’s funkiest, most distinctive elements and a modern art form blooming on every corner. Found down alleyways, on the pavements or on state buildings, the graffiti of Thessaloniki gives the city a dynamic rhythm, a colourful urban vibe and a fresh voice. This fresh voice is also expressed by the street orchestras! Walking around the city you get the chance to listen to the local street musicians producing traditional melodic sounds such as “chalkina”.

alive and kicking!

To fully capture the city’s essence means to explore all its cultural elements -such as the Folklife and Ethnological Museum of Macedonia-Thrace, the Museum of Photography, the Thessaloniki Concert Hall and the National Theatre of Northern Greece- in order to form the whole puzzle and reveal the city’s truest image. Walk the little city streets, listen to the street musicians performing on the pavement, admire the graffiti on the walls and make time to visit the International Film Festival; only then will you be able truly to understand what the Thessaloniki spirit is all about.

23

MUSEUM OF BYZANTINE CULTUREIt is one of the biggest museums in the world for Byzantine heritage, housing an impressive 2900 artifacts of the early Christian period and the middle and late Byzantine period –its permanent exhibition. The museum accommodates temporary exhibitions from all over the world, while continuing to organize a variety of special educational activities.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM It presents elements of ancient Macedonia via an exhibition of sculptures, mosaics, paintings and pottery items that narrate the story of the period of the great Kingdom of the Macedons.

MACEDONIAN MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART A glimpse of Thessaloniki’s pulsating contemporary culture awaits you at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, presenting local and international art collections in all forms of art, such as photography, painting, engraving, mixed media and video installations.

A history written by so many cultures creates a present that reminds us of an orchestra: many sounds complement one another, offering a fascinating melodic experience, worth discovering for yourself.

I don’t need the money, dear. I work for art.
