City Guide

Religion

Named in 315BC after the half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki is steeped in ancient history – home to Macedonians, Romans, Venetians, Greeks, Jews, Ottomans and refugees of Asia Minor over the centuries. Predictably, the city that once shared the rule of the Byzantine Empire with Constantinople has a trove of museums, sites such as the Roman Agora, the Arch of Galerius, the Rotonda and numerous places of worship that span non-secular history.

Church of Saint Demetrius

The main sanctuary dedicated to the patron saint of Thessaloniki dates back to the time when the city was the second largest city in the Byzantine Empire. As part of the Palaeochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.

Church of Saint Minas

A three-aisled basilica rebuilt on the site of the early-Christian sanctuary of the 8th century of which the original conch remains. Testimonies of Byzantine documents affirm that the church operated from the early 9th century Byzantine Thessaloniki, as one of the largest parishes and one of the few churches that stayed in Christian hands after the Turkish invasion of 1492.
