This Arch was built by a Jewish association, called the Circle of close Friends ('Cercle des Intimes'). This association worked for the improvement of the living conditions of Jews in Thessaloniki, and for their integration in the Ottoman nation. Thus, in honor of the first anniversary of the Young Turks revolution, they financed the construction of a magnificent triumphal Arch on the quay. The postcard shows the arch, built in an oriental style. Below the arch, several passers-by, traditionally dressed, are crossing the lively street.
