Thessaloniki becomes the first Greek city
<http://www.openhouseworldwide.org/news/article.php?item=34> to take
part in the /Open House Worldwide
<http://www.openhouseworldwide.org/index.php>/ movement and opens its
buildings to the public on November 24-25. The event features a total of
60 public and private buildings, showcasing the city’s great
architectural diversity and its intriguing relationship with different
periods, from the ancient world to Byzantium, the Ottoman Empire and the
early 20th century.
The list includes such diverse buildings as UNESCO heritage
<http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/456> 5th century Latomou monastery
<http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/2/eh251.jsp?obj_id=1548> to private
apartments on the city’s iconic waterfront

promote the event, featuring info on the buildings
<http://www.openhousethessaloniki.gr/en/program/> and maps

well as general information about the city and the programme.

architecture for all to experience, completely free of charge, along
with the promotion of the value of well-designed urban environment.
Since then, a total of 20 cities, including New York, Dublin, Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem, Helsinki, Melbourne, Barcelona, Chicago and Rome, have become
