A church built in the 14th century. Few of the building's original wall paintings survive, but its architecture is striking.
The Church of Saint Panteleimon, officially the Holy Church of Saint Panteleimon, is a Greek Orthodox church located in Thessaloniki, in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. The Byzantine-era church was built in the 14th century. Because of its well-preserved Byzantine architecture and its testimony to the importance of Thessaloniki to early and medieval Christianity, the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988 along with fourteen other Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki.

A 14th-century chapel.
Started life as a Roman temple of Zeus, built by Caesar Galerius, and is almost as old as the Pantheon in Rome. The monument has a diameter of 24.5 m and its dome reaches a height of 30 m. It was converted into a Christian church during the Early Christian era, and its interior was decorated with magnificent mosaics. However some inside frescoes are a work of the British artist Alexander Rossi (1840-1916). In 1591 the Rotunda was converted into a mosque, and a tall minaret still stands beside the monument. Frequent earthquakes from the early 7ᵗʰ century until 1978 caused several damage. The latter caused the destruction of the dome section. After being restored, the monument reopened to the public in 1998.
