EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the 1910s. The image, taken in the heart of the city, showcases Liberty Square (Plateia Eleftherias) and Rue Venizelos (Venizelou Street), two iconic landmarks that continue to be major attractions for visitors today. Liberty Square, also known as Place de la Liberté, was the city's main square during this era. The open space, adorned with lush greenery and a magnificent fountain, served as a gathering place for the diverse community of Thessaloniki. In the background, the imposing Byzantine-style Church of Acheiropoietos can be seen, adding a touch of history and cultural richness to the scene. Rue Venizelos, a major thoroughfare, is prominently featured in the photograph. Horse-drawn trams, a common mode of transportation during this period, can be seen making their way along the cobblestone street. The street is lined with shops, cafes, and residences, reflecting the city's rich commercial and cultural heritage. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Thessalonica, is Greece's second-largest city and a melting pot of influences from the East and West. Its history dates back over 2,300 years, making it a fascinating destination for history buffs and travelers seeking to explore the depths of European and Mediterranean culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the city's past, showcasing its unique charm and character that continues to captivate visitors to this day.
