White Tower of Thessaloniki
Once a 15th-century Ottoman fortification and prison, the White Tower now symbolizes Thessaloniki’s resilience. The six-storey museum charts the city’s evolution, from its founding in 316 BC to its diverse cultural identity shaped by centuries of trade, faiths, and ethnicities. The rooftop balcony rewards visitors with panoramic views of the Thermaic Gulf, offering a unique perspective on Thessaloniki’s past and present. (It’s part of the MOMus network)

Housed in a neoclassical landmark designed by Ernst Ziller, this museum examines Macedonia’s history during the Ottoman era, focusing on the Macedonian Struggle (1904-1908). Historical artifacts, maps, and photographs reveal diplomatic efforts and guerrilla warfare that defined the region’s identity. The building, formerly the Greek Consulate, played a key role as an operations center during the struggle. Today, it hosts the Research Centre for Macedonian History.

Thessaloniki Municipal Gallery – Casa Bianca
Housed in Casa Bianca, a listed mansion blending neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles, this gallery exudes both artistic and architectural relevance. Built between 1911 and 1913, the mansion was home to the Fernandez-Diaz family, victims of Nazi deportation during WWII. Since 2013, it has showcased Greek art from 1898 to today, with notable works by Nikolaos Gyzis, Georgios Iakovidis, and folk artist Theophilos. Its collection also includes Byzantine and post-Byzantine icons. A seasonal café-restaurant operates in the courtyard.
