Church of Prophet Elijah, Byzantine church in Upper City, Thessaloniki, Greece
The Church of Prophet Elijah features a large central dome measuring 5.50 meters in diameter and includes four smaller domed bays near the side apses.
The structure, built between 1360 and 1370, stands on the site of a former palace that was destroyed during the Zealot uprising of 1342.
The remaining wall paintings in the lite section display scenes from the life of Christ and numerous saints, representing late Palaiologan artistic techniques.
The church contains east-facing sacristies and western chapels, with a spacious narthex supporting various ecclesiastical functions within the monastery framework.
The building material combines white stone blocks with brick courses, a construction method uncommon in Macedonia but frequently found in Constantinople.
