Church of the Holy Twelve Apostles, Byzantine church near Western Walls in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The Church of the Holy Twelve Apostles features five domes supported by four columns, with ornate brickwork decorations on its exterior walls.
Built around 1329, the structure served as a monastery's main church before being converted into the Soğuksu Mosque during the Ottoman period.
The interior walls display Byzantine mosaics depicting Christ Pantocrator, Old Testament prophets, saints, and martyrs from the 14th century.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands within walking distance from Thessaloniki's city center, near a Byzantine water cistern.
The building incorporates cloisonné masonry techniques, combining cut stone and brick in patterns similar to Constantinople's architectural style.
