History
It was built in 1898 by the Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli,[1] who also designed the Mills of Allatini that were founded in 1890, and the head office of Allatini-affiliated Banque de Salonique in downtown Thessaloniki. At that time the region where the villa is located was called the district of "Countrysides" (des Campagnes) or "Towers", and was the easternmost limit of Thessaloniki.[2]
In the first period of its use, the villa was the countryside residence of the
Greco-Italian War (1940-1941) it was used as a hospital.[4]
From 1979 the
Kallikratis Plan, the prefecture was abolished and replaced by regional self-governing bodies.[5] Today Villa Allatini houses the administration of the region of Central Macedonia
