About this audio guide
This guide to Warehouse C on the old port of Thessaloniki follows Edmond Bartissol, a French civil engineer who had worked on the Suez Canal and on railways in Spain and Portugal before the Ottoman state hired him to build a new harbour here. It moves between the pier under your feet, the stone-and-brick storage halls modelled on Marseille, and a second venture of his far away in the south of France. Best heard standing on Pier A facing the warehouse's long facade.
