Eleftherias Square

Eleftherias Square, one of the most historic squares of Thessaloniki, is an important reference point for the city.

Located near the port and the coastal avenue, it is surrounded by neoclassical buildings and offers a unique sense of historical continuity. The square has played a central role in the history of Thessaloniki, particularly during the German occupation in World War II, when it was used to gather the city's Jews before their deportation to concentration camps.

Today, Eleftherias Square is a place of recreation and gathering for residents and visitors to the city. The surrounding cafes and restaurants offer a pleasant environment to enjoy a coffee or a meal. Recently, redevelopment work has been carried out to upgrade the area and highlight its historical significance. The square continues to be a lively and busy place, keeping the memory of the city alive.
