Summary/Abstract: The text traces the history of a luxury villa built by Osman Bey in the new part of the city of Salonica at the end of the 19th century. Over the years the building changed owners many times and underwent various metamorphoses. Its story is a downsized version of the colorful palette of the Salonica society, of the multiformity of life and of the intertwining interests in the city. Parallel with that its fate reflects the development of the Bulgarian-Greek relations and constitutes a typical example of fact concealing and suppression of inconvenient truths.
