- White Tower of Thessaloniki - The White Tower, a prominent symbol of Thessaloniki, was constructed in the 15th century following the city’s capture by the Ottomans in 1430. It replaced an older tower that was part of Thessaloniki’s Byzantine defenses, situated where the eastern wall met the sea wall. The Tower marked the eastern end of the sea wall. It is circular, standing 33.90 meters tall with a diameter of 21.70 meters, and comprises a ground floor and six upper stories. Built from stone, plaster, and partially brick, the battlements, entrance roof, ground floor, and staircase vault are exclusively brick.
- Monument of Alexander The Great - Located in the popular Nea Paralia area by the sea, the monument of Alexander the Great is an impressive six-meter (20 ft.) tall statue depicting Alexander riding his horse “Voukefalas” (Bucephalus), one of antiquity’s most renowned horses.
- Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki - As one of Greece’s largest museums and the main museum of northern Greece, the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki has been housed in a building designed by architect Patroklos Karantinos since 1962. It is recognized as a listed monument of modern heritage, exemplifying architectural modernism in Greece. Its collections feature artifacts from excavations conducted since 1912 by the Greek Antiquities Service throughout Macedonia.
- Arch of Galerius - The Arch of Galerius, an early 4th-century AD monument in Thessaloniki, is an exceptional example of early Byzantine art and architecture.
- Rotunda - The Rotunda of St. George, located just north of the city’s main axes junction where the Arch of Galerius stands, is one of the 15 Paleochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988. Named for its round shape, it is one of Thessaloniki’s oldest and most impressive monuments. Built during the early Roman tetrarchy when Caesar Galerius (250-311 AD) was based in Thessaloniki, it was part of the imperial complex, possibly intended as Galerius’ mausoleum, though never used as such.
- Roman Forum of Thessaloniki - The Ancient Forum, the administrative center of ancient Thessaloniki, spanned approximately two hectares in the city’s heart. Its construction began at the end of the 2nd century A.D. on the site of an earlier forum from early Imperial times.
- Church of Saint Dimitrios - Patron of Thessaloniki - The Church of Saint Demetrius, or Hagios Demetrios, is the primary sanctuary dedicated to Saint Demetrius, Thessaloniki’s patron saint.
- Trigonion Tower - The Trigoniou Tower, the most renowned and impressive tower of the wall, was built in the late 15th century to defend the city from invasion. Also known as “the balcony of Thessaloniki,” it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city and the sea. On a clear day, Mount Olympus, 150km away, is visible.
- Tsinari - Tsinari, part of Ano Poli (Upper City), derives its name from “cinar,” the Turkish word for plane tree. The district’s character remains vibrant due to the preservation of the old urban plan and numerous listed buildings.
- Aristotelous Square - Aristotelous Square, Thessaloniki’s main city square, is located on Nikis Avenue along the city’s waterfront in the center. Designed by French architect Ernest Hébrard in 1918, most of the square was constructed in the 1950s. Many surrounding buildings have been renovated, with significant restoration of its northern parts in the 2000s.
