• Eptapyrgio Castle - Originally constructed as Thessaloniki’s fortifications, these castles were essential for the city’s defense in earlier times. The Acropolis was established at the highest point of the castles, with the Heptapyrgion built at the north-east peak as the city’s final fort. Known also as Genti-Koule, the Heptapyrgion served as a prison until 1989. Visitors can explore the Heptapyrgion and the Trigonio Tower at the Acropolis entrance on select days each year. The district features picturesque alleys and quaint traditional taverns, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city.
• White Tower of Thessaloniki - This round fort near Thessaloniki’s center has become synonymous with the city’s symbol. Constructed in the 15th century as part of the sea fortifications, the White Tower was associated with terror during the Ottoman Empire due to the executions held there. After the city’s liberation, it was whitewashed to cleanse it of its bloody past. Today, the White Tower’s interior hosts an exhibition on Thessaloniki’s history.
• Church of Saint Dimitrios - Patron of Thessaloniki - Agios Dimitrios is one of the most important Christian monuments and the largest Greek Church. Built on the site of the former Roman Baths, it honors Saint Dimitrios, Thessaloniki’s patron saint. The church was completely destroyed in the 1917 fire and rebuilt in 1948. The Crypt at the church’s east end, where Saint Dimitrios was martyred by Roman soldiers, is now a place of worship.
• Rotunda - The Rotonda, a circular building, was originally constructed in 306 CE as a Pantheon or Mausoleum for Galerius. Unused during Byzantine times, it was converted into a Christian Church of Saint Georgios under Theodosius the Great’s rule, and later into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire. Be sure to admire the unique 4th-century CE mosaics. The iconography dates to the early 5th century, with only those under the church’s dome surviving today.
• Arch of Galerius - Known as “Kamara,” the Triumphal Arch of Galerius is a notable Thessaloniki monument and a popular meeting spot for locals and visitors. Built in 305 CE to commemorate Galerius’s victory over the Persians, only three pillars and part of the upper stone structure remain. The two main pillars are adorned with marble sculptural panels. Originally, the monument featured four main pillars and two smaller ones on each side, supporting the central structure.
