“Twin” Tobacco warehouses 

Two identical industrial buildings, the “twin” tobacco warehouses of Ago Popov, lie to the west of the city’s central municipal park, at the junction of El. Venizelos and Ulov Palme streets.

The buildings, which are characteristic samples of the period of westernization of the Ottoman Empire, were erected in the late 19th – early 20th century and reflect the production dynamics of the region. They operated until the liberation of the city from the Ottomans in 1913, in which time refugees from Stromnitsa were housed in them. During the civil war, they were used as prisons, while until the 1990s they were used as a military supply warehouse, serving the needs of the armed forces based in Kilkis.
