Description
Explore Thessaloniki's connections to the First Ecumenical Council on a walking tour. Visit the Metropolitan Church and the Galerian Complex to learn about the council's history and context.
Begin your tour at the new Metropolitan Church of Thessaloniki, dedicated to Saint Gregory Palamas. Admire a 20th-century fresco depicting the Council of Nicaea and learn about its history and context.
Next, head to the Galerian Complex, built by Emperor Galerius between the end of the third and beginning of the fourth centuries AD.
