Well worth the couple of Euro entrance fee. Amazingly tranquil, beautiful, but simple interior with beautiful mosaic ceilings . A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city !!

The Rotunda of St Georges is one of the oldest monument in Thessaloniki. It was part of a large complex that included the palace , an octagonal building & the hippodrome built by Caesar Galerius .

Nondas K

One of the most ancient structures still standing in the city . Started as a mausoleum , was turned into a church , a mosque and a museum . A fascinating place and a fascinating space.

Carl Griffin

Originally built as a mausoleum for Emporer Galerius but he was never laid to rest there. Became the city 's first church but converted to a mosque by the Ottomans.

Stergios

Ministry of Culture announced Rotonda to be used not only as a multicultural center but as a church as well . Great news. A must while in Thessaloniki.

Anastasis Vra

A huge round architecture made by the Romans in the heart of Thessaloniki. It was connected with the very well known to all of us, Kamara , or Galerious Arc

Konstantina

A must-see. Beautiful ceiling paintings have been restored and there are plaques in Greek and English explaining everything.

Sultan hortaç cami 🕌 Selanik’in en eski yapılarından , minare kısmı kesilmiş ve şu an kilise olarak aktif kullanılıyor. Mimarisi çok güzel 👍🏻

Danai Psaradelli

Μία από τις πιο παλιές εκκλησίες στο κέντρο της Θεσσαλονίκης. Έχει ρόλο Μουσείου οπότε μπορεί κανείς να την επισκεφτεί και να θαυμάσει το εσωτερικό της.

Προοριζόταν για μαυσωλείο του Γαλέριου.Ροτόντα ονομάστηκε από το κυκλικό της σχήμα, ενώ το όνομα Άγιος Γεώργιος πήρε από το γειτονικό ομώνυμο εκκλησάκι. Σήμερα λειτουργεί ως μουσείο.

Τώρα που τελείωσαν οι εργασίες συντήρησης, μπορείτε να απολαύσετε τα εξαίρετης τέχνης ψηφιδωτά παλαιοχριστιανικής εποχής - 5ος αιώνας.
