Church of the Acheiropoietos

Byzantine church built on top of a Roman bath, the remnants of which can still be seen. Lovely mosaics. We visited mid morning and we had the church to ourselves.

Thessaloniki is a treasure trove of Byzantine churches, and this is my favorite. It was built in the 400s on top of a former Roman bath house, and the bath house tiles are still visible under glass on the floor. There are some mosaics, and one of the columns has an Ottoman victory inscription.

One of the most beautiful Orthodox Churches in Greece ☦️🇬🇷 I highly suggest you pay it a visit with a tour guide, to learn about its rich history associated with Thessaloniki, the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople.

One of the most important and the oldest (build in 5th century) orthodox churches in Thessaloniki with long and important history from Byzantio years throug the ottomans until today. Beautiful and marvelous environment with very interesting architecture and materials used for creating this church. Protected by UNESCO!

A beautiful church with beautiful frescos and icons. A very peaceful and contemplative place. There are glass panels on the floor which show tile work from earlier Roman buildings on which the church was built.

One of the most beautiful and the oldest Byzantine churche in Thessaloniki. Before your visit to Agia Sofia which is a 5 minute walk it is recommended a visit to this church is a must. No other church has this excuisit columns or the floor moseic. Small café and quiet neighborhood. It is definitely recommended.

Wonderful, was lucky enough to hear the choir chanting when I visited

Marvelous artwork (masonry, woodwork, historic paintings, 4th century mosaics) inside. Highly recommend!
