Casa Bianca

The Fernandez residence was figuring prominently among the renowned “Towers” of Thessaloniki, i.e. the mansions, with their huge gardens, that belonged to Thessaloniki’s urban elite and which, in the early 20th century, dominated the route connecting the White Tower and Villa Allatini. Dino Fernandez – Diaz’ family (he was a Jew of Italian citizenship) was one of the most prominent families in Thessaloniki. The Fernandez, Modiano, Allatini and Morpurgo families were the most important trade houses in the city. The house became known as Villa Blanche, Casa Bianca or “Villa Fernandez” and was remembered by both the old and the new city residents for its magnificence, wealth and unique architecture.
