History of Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki (Greek: Θεσσαλονίκη) is a metropolitan city with over 23 centuries of rich history! It is the second-largest city in Greece, with over 1 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, and the capital of the geographic region of Macedonia. It is also known in Greek as "the co-capital", a reference to its historical status as "co-reigning" city of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire, alongside Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).
Thessaloniki is located on the Thermaic Gulf, at the northwest corner of the Aegean Sea. It is bounded on the west by the delta of the Axios River. The municipality of Thessaloniki, the historical center, had a population of 325,182 in 2011, while the Thessaloniki Metropolitan Area had 1,030,338 inhabitants. It is Greece's second major economic, industrial, commercial and political centre; it is a major transportation hub for Greece and southeastern Europe, notably through the Port of Thessaloniki The city is renowned for its festivals, events and vibrant cultural life in general, and is considered to be Greece's cultural capital. Events such as the Thessaloniki International Fair and the Thessaloniki International Film Festival are held annually, while the city also hosts the largest bi-annual meeting of the Greek diaspora. Thessaloniki was the 2014 European Youth Capital.
The city of Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC by King Cassander of Macedon. It was named after Thessaloniki, the sister of Alexander the Great and daughter of Phillip II, King of Macedonia. An important metropolis by the Roman period, Thessaloniki was the second largest and wealthiest city of the Byzantine Empire. It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1430, and remained an important seaport and multi-ethnic metropolis during the nearly five centuries of Turkish rule. It passed from the Ottoman Empire to Greece on 8 November 1912. It is home to numerous notable Byzantine monuments, including the Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as several Roman, Ottoman and Sephardic Jewish structures.
Thessaloniki is the basis of two major Greek Universities, the Aristotle University and the Macedonia University, the largest in Greece and the Balkans. The city hosts the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank, the European Union's Centre of Vocational Training CEDEFOP, the Alexander Innovation Zone and several other major institutions.
Thessaloniki is a popular tourist destination in Greece. In 2013, National Geographic Magazine included Thessaloniki in its top tourist destinations worldwide, while in 2014 Financial Times FDI magazine (Foreign Direct Investments) declared Thessaloniki as the best mid-sized European city of the future for human capital and lifestyle.
