Description

Rotunda is a remarkable historical monument in Thessaloniki that impresses with its rich history and architecture. Built in 306 as the mausoleum of Emperor Galerius, it served as a Christian church and mosque for centuries.

The interior of the Rotunda is decorated with magnificent Byzantine mosaics and frescoes that depict religious scenes, including the Heavenly Jerusalem and archangels. The huge dome, one of the largest in the ancient world, is a masterpiece of engineering.

As a UNESCO-listed site, the Rotunda is a great destination for lovers of history, art and architecture.
