History of the building: During the interwar period, when Thessaloniki was destined to once again become the center of Balkan civilization,
this inspiring hotel named “Vienna” was one of those bringing the sense of change to the city of Thessaloniki.
It was designed by architect G. Kampanelo in 1929 and completed by 1931, with its first owner being Costas Manolas.
This eclectic-style building was constructed where the temple of Saint Kiriaki was initially located and originally had three floors.
Its 55 rooms hosted several famous people of the time, including ministers, politicians, and artists. During the occupation, the Germans selected this impressive building to house the Kommandantur offices, while its basements
became torture chambers. On the first day of Thessaloniki’s liberation, October 30, 1944, the building was occupied by the National Liberation Army, which chose to host its headquarters there for several months.
Immediately after the German occupation, the first owner, Mr. Manolas, took over the hotel until 1973, a period during which all floors of the building were sealed and only the ground-floor shops were open for business.
The building was then abandoned until 1994, when it was acquired by Mr. Athanasios Mantas.
Through his initiative, the estate would come to life again on the basis of Thessaloniki being the Cultural Capital of Europe in 1997.
From 2012 to the present day, this beautiful building in the heart of the city center has been home to the Mediterranean College of Thessaloniki.
Fully renovated, enriched with all the required technological equipment and appropriate infrastructure, without altering its architectural character, it highlights the connection between education and culture.
