About this audio guide
This guide to the EYATH Water Museum in Thessaloniki starts with a neighbourhood named for its abattoir and a street that once worked as the city's larder, from an army cold store to an ice factory. It follows the Belgian-built pump house of the eighteen-nineties, the wells to the west that fed it, and the public fountains where the city met. Best heard outside the metal-framed pumping hall, before you step in among the machines.
