- Thessaloniki housed a major Jewish community of Sephardic origin till 1943. It 's the only known example of a city in the Jewish diaspora of this size that retained a Jewish majority for centuries.
The Jews' arrival for the most part followed the Alhambra Decree in 1492, by which the Jews of Spain were expelled from the country.
Thessaloniki's Jews were inextricably linked to its history and the influence of the community both culturally and economically was strongly felt. The community experienced a golden age in the 16th century and a progressive decline until the middle of 20th century.
After the outbreak of WWII the history of the Jews of Thessaloniki took a tragic course. The implementation of the Nazis' Final Solution in Greece resulted in the near-extermination of the entire community.
The most important structures owned, built for or built by Jews that still survive are:
a few deserted buildings in Analipsi, Depot and Faliro Quarters

- Till the Great Fire of 1917 most of the city first class and luxury hotels were situated in the French Quarter (in a place very close to the city port that is) and the nearby areas (e.g. Liberty Square and Nikis Avenue). After 1917 most of the hotels in these areas were destroyed by the fire. Following the Hebrard Plan most of the city's new Hotels were built in Egnatia Street and the nearby areas (namely in Antigonidon, Leondos Sofou, Singrou, Svoronou, Ptolemeon, Zaliki and Olimbou streets) while a few (as a rule more luxurious than those of Egnatia street) were built in Ayias Sofias, Mitropoleos, Komninon, Venizelou and Tsimiski streets. About 22 of them are still in operation.
