Modiano Market

Modiano Market or Stoa Modiano is an enclosed market in <a href="/facts/Thessaloniki/o3BFhhPR">Thessaloniki</a>, <a href="/facts/Greece/lqHw8bTB">Greece</a>. It was built between 1922 and 1925, after the <a href="/facts/Great_Fire_of_Thessaloniki/KvkQRJUA">great fire</a>, on the site of the old Talmud Tora <a href="/facts/Synagogue/yt6f6nJa">synagogue</a>.

It is in the center of the city and forms the central point of the city's market which encompasses over several blocks. It took its name from the architect Eli Modiano, a member of the well known Italo-Jewish Modiano family of the city, who owned the area and later the market. The architectural office of Modiano was also inside the building.

It is a place of social meeting and historical significance for the city.
The building was restored and reopened on December 5, 2022, after being bought by the <a href="/facts/Hellenic_Republic_Asset_Development_Fund/oQr5cuQy">Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund</a>.
