My Choice 756 - Vasilis Tsitsanis: Beautiful Thessaloniki

A Greek song, Beautiful Thessaloniki - ( Όμορφη Θεσσαλονίκη) - praising the beauty of the city. It was written by the Greek composer Vasilis Tsitsanis. It is sung by Glykeria (Γλυκερία).

We are showing photos of beautiful Thessaloniki.

Thessaloniki is Greece' second major economic, industrial, commercial and
political centre, and a major transportation hub for the rest of
southeastern Europe. The city hosts an annual International Trade Fair, the
International Thessaloniki Film Festival, and the largest bi-annual meeting
of the Greek diaspora.

Thessaloniki is home to numerous notable Byzantine monuments, including the Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessalonika, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, as well as several Ottoman and Sephardic Jewish structures.

The city was founded around 315 BC by the King Cassander of Macedon, on or near the site of the ancient town of Therma and 26 other local villages. He
named it after his wife Thessalonike, a half-sister of Alexander the Great.

It was an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Macedon. After the fall of the
kingdom of Macedon in 168 BC, Thessalonica became a city of the Roman
Republic. It grew to be an important trade-hub located on the Via Egnatia
and facilitated trade between Europe and Asia. The city became the capital
of one of the four Roman districts of Macedonia.
