CYENS

Created in 2021, this complex dedicated to science and the digital sector brings together exhibition spaces, corporate offices and European university research laboratories. It occupies the vast modernist-style building of the former municipal market (Δημοτική Αγορά/Dimotiki Agora). The latter was built in 1967, following the division of the city in 1963 and the impossibility for the inhabitants of the southern part to get to the Bandabuliya market in the northern part. Since the 2000s, however, its activity has declined sharply.
