Salonica para Android

Salonica is a unique travel application designed for exploring Thessaloniki's historical landscape through an interactive map. It features over 7,000 geolocated photographs, allowing users to view historical images at their original locations. The app also includes overlays of historical maps, such as a 1919 urban plan, and utilizes GPS technology to guide users to specific sites. With filters that cover periods from the late 1800s to the post-war era, it caters to history enthusiasts, researchers, and tourists interested in the city's rich past.

The app’s primary function is to provide a location-based comparison of past and present views, enabling users to align archived photographs with current street scenes. Each entry includes scholarly context to enhance the viewing experience. Designed specifically for on-site exploration, Salonica supports fieldwork and walking tours, making it a practical tool for those studying the city’s history. However, its utility is focused on Thessaloniki, limiting its application outside the city.
