About this audio guide
This guide begins beneath the stopped clock of the Malakopi Arcade, the former Bank of Salonica in Thessaloniki. You'll climb its U-shaped staircase under the glass roof, hear about the Allatini family and their partners in Paris and Vienna, and find the old vault in the basement. Start outside, looking up at the doorway.
