Church of the Acheiropoietos, 5th-century Byzantine basilica in Thessaloniki, Greece
The church features a three-aisled basilica design with marble columns, wooden roof, galleries, and a semicircular vault at the eastern end.
Built between 450-470 AD on Roman public baths, the church served as the first mosque in Thessaloniki after the Ottoman conquest in 1430.
The interior contains preserved mosaics depicting plants, geometrical patterns, animals, and Christian symbols from the early Christian period in Thessaloniki.
