War Museum of Thessaloniki

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.

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

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

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

You can study the exhibits at Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, a museum with a story of its own, during your trip to Thessaloniki. Make time to visit the area's shops or simply enjoy its top-notch restaurants.
