Alexandreio Sport Palace

Home to one of the country’s finest collections of Byzantine art, this museum presents an overview of a significant period in Thessaloniki’s history.

An enormous statue of the leader of Macedonia atop his famous horse overlooks the water in a square filled with monuments.

The rather plain exterior of this building belies its importance as one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in the city of Thessaloniki.

This distinctly shaped tower has evolved alongside Thessaloniki over the centuries and now houses a museum dedicated to the city’s history.

See one of Thessaloniki’s most famous monuments, a symbol of the city and an intriguing example of 4th-century Roman architecture.
