Mehmet Kapantzi Villa/ National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation

Mehmet Kapantzi Villa is a very important sample of eclecticism, with obvious European influences, similar to chalets and encapsulates all the intercultural architectural trends of that period in all of Thessaloniki.

The colours of the restored building are based on old walls coatings and old photographs.
