Itinerary

Rotonda

This cylindrical structure was built in 306 AD by the Roman tetrarch Galerius, who intended it to be his grave. Later the Rotonda was converted into a mosque, with the addition of a minaret. It is one of the oldest Orthodox churches and has been included in the UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites.

Arch of Gallerius

Neighbouring with Rotunda it is an early 4th-century AD monument. It was dedicated in 303 AD to celebrate the victory of the tetrarch Galerius over the Persians. Now, it is one of the most popular meeting points for young people.

Galerian (Roman) Complex

An important monumental group in Thessaloniki, built at the turning-point of two worlds, the Roman and Byzantine. Some of the remains and the buildings at the archaeological site in Navarinou Square, are visible and open to the public, though most have been buried due to the reconstruction of the historic city center.

The Markets

The “Modiano” Market and “Kapani” are the oldest open markets of Thessaloniki still trading fresh and deli products! They are located next to Aristotelous Square. They are a colorful introduction to Thessaloniki’s reknowned food culture. 

Yad Lezicaron and Holocaust monument

  • This Synagogue was opened in 1984, dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
  • The Holocaust Memorial was erected in honor of the 50,000 Greek Jews of Thessaloniki who testified in the Nazi camps. It is placed at the corner of Eleftherias (Freedom) Square, by the seaside avenue.
