#5ThessMarket:THE SQUARE OF COMMERCE: THE 7WAY SQR Traditional Cache

 Plaza di sile kalentzos" was the place where the Jews, merchants of cheese, coffees and spices, used to name the Square of Commerce, because seven streets ended up there. In 1900, before the incorporation of Thessaloniki into the national core, there were branches of large banks and brokerage offices operating with funds secured by the rich commercial movement of the Balkans. In today's bustling area of Syngrou and formerly the center of Frangomachalas, there is the Malakopi Stoa- a traditional shopping mall. On its front, the clock stopped at 11.06, at the time of the great earthquake of Thessaloniki in 1978. The building was built in 1906 by the architect Vitalianos Pozelli to house the Bank of Thessaloniki. Square of the Stock Exchange. Here is the most important urban planning bailout in recent years: the bioclimatic upgrade of the so-called Frangomachalas where shops with textiles and spices used to thrive in the past, but still struggle to survive nowadays. With the development of innovative interventions (stone floors, fans, water curtains, water formations, development of rooftops on a total area of 2,000 square meters), the ultimate goal is to ensure "green" features, ie a 1.9 degree Celsius reduction in its maximum temperature area. The meaning of the words “Europe” and “euro” Nowadays, the modern European currency used for all commercial transactions is the euro, which derives from the word Europe (in Greek:Ευρώπη). The name euro is printed on the paper euro in its Greek form ΕΥΡΩ while the name of Europe derives from the Greek name of a mythological figure. In Greek mythology, Europa, the daughter of a Phoenician king, was seduced by the god Zeus, in the shape of a bull, who carried her away to Crete. The story inspired the ancient Greeks to use “Europe” s a geographical term. The most likely etymology of the word is “the one who has “big eyes” (εὐρεῖς ὦπας).
