Modiano Market, Historic covered market in central Thessaloniki, Greece
The Modiano Market spans 70 meters in length with two floors containing food stores, tavernas, restaurants, and specialty shops selling local products.
Architect Eli Modiano designed this building in 1922, incorporating reinforced concrete, brick, stone, and mortar to create a protected structure that opened in 1925.
The market represents a central meeting point where vendors display Greek culinary traditions through fresh produce, spices, cheese, fish, and meat selections.
Located near Aristotelous Plaza, the market connects Vasileos Irakliou Street with Egnatia Avenue, providing easy access to local food products.
The cross-shaped design features a glass roof that illuminates the interior spaces, reflecting architectural influences from Parisian markets of the early 1900s.
