Modiano Market to reopen Monday
[Olga Deikou]
The doors to Thessaloniki’s Modiano Market will be opening to the public officially on Monday, following a radical overhaul of the historic colonnaded emporium, which was condemned as structurally unsound in 2017 after years of abandonment and neglect.
The market first opened in 1925 and is now being relaunched as a “culinary destination,” featuring 117 stores and food stalls. It has been designed by Rena Sakellaridou and Morpho Papanikolaou from the architectural firm Sparch, who worked with restoration specialist Cleopatra Theologidou, civil engineer Athanasios Kontizas and lighting designer Eleftheria Deko.
The Fais group holds the commercial rights.
