Barbouta

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:00:14

Walk from Plateia Antoniou down Vasileos Konstandinou to find Veria's atmospheric former Jewish quarter. The huge, ancient plane tree here is where the Turks hanged Archbishop Arsenios in 1430, after taking Veria. Opposite, the decapitated minaret on the dilapidated 12th-century cathedral indicates Ottoman interference.
