Our History

Bankalar Caddesi —
Bankers Street

Discover the timeless allure of Bankers Street, once celebrated as the “Wall Street of the Ottomans” and still the vibrant center of Galata's financial legacy. Stroll past the flowing lines of the Camondo Stairs and the striking presence of SALT Galata, where Neoclassical and Art Nouveau architecture define the street's character. Today, these historic buildings — formerly grand hans — have been thoughtfully transformed into luxury boutique hotels and art galleries, creating a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern culture.

Generali Han

Completed in 1909 on historic Bankers Street, Generali Han stands as a stunning example of early 20th-century commercial architecture. Designed by acclaimed Italian architect Giulio Mongeri for Assicurazioni Generali, the building embodies an era of dynamic international investment in the Ottoman Empire's financial district.

Once known as Vitalis Han, this landmark has housed the Bank of Thessaloniki and bears Mongeri's signature style. Its façade, a graceful mix of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical design, welcomes visitors into a grand central atrium bathed in natural light — capturing the refined spirit of its time.
