Summary

This model of the White Tower was presented to Lord Mayor Robert Doyle in 2009 in honour of the 25th anniversary of the Melbourne-Thessaloniki Sister City relationship. The Thessaloniki Association, based in Melbourne, is one of our key stakeholders in the relationship. The association’s website address is: http://thessaloniki.org.au/ Initially there were ideas to create a model measuring 150cm in diameter and to have this on permanent display in Town Hall. In the event, this more manageably-sized model was made and gifted. The White Tower is the most recognisable symbol of Thessaloniki.
