This stock exchange is one of the oldest in the world. It started hundreds of years ago as a seasonal trading event, attracting many sellers and buyers from different regions.
The exchange grew out of regular open-air meetings. A group of merchants used them to regulate monetary transactions during this trading event. Later, they moved to one of the city’s most spacious buildings. It hosted the exchange for over 200 years.
Meanwhile, the city developed into a big commercial and financial center. It was home to the first bank of one of the wealthiest business dynasties.
At some point, the exchange moved to a new building, even more spacious and impressive. Yet, in less than 40 years, it changed its location again.
This exchange greatly suffered due to one of the global wars. Nevertheless, it managed to recover and establish itself as one of the leading platforms in the world.
