The Municipal Tobacco Warehouse, a three-level, 5,500-square-metre building on Kavala's Kapnergatis Square, remains the city's primary venue for exhibitions, seminars, conferences and concerts. Built around 1900 by Ottoman tobacco merchant Kizi Mimin in a style blending Ottoman, Neoclassical and Baroque elements, the building was purchased by the Municipality of Kavala in 1970 and later fully restored. The square outside takes its name from the Tobacco Worker monument by sculptor Dimitrios Armakolas, unveiled in 1986 in honour of the city's tobacco labour movement.
