Saint Gregory Palamas Church, Thessaloniki, Metropolitan Orthodox church in central Thessaloniki, Greece
The Saint Gregory Palamas Church exhibits a cross-shaped structure with an octagonal design, multiple bell towers, and a large central dome.
Following a devastating fire in 1890, architects Ernst Ziller and Xenophon Paionidis reconstructed the church between 1891 and 1914.
The church contains the sacred relics of Saint Gregory Palamas, who served as Archbishop of Thessaloniki from 1350 to 1359.
Located at 23 Proxenou Koromila Street, the church opens daily from 07:00 to 12:00 and 17:00 to 19:00, with dress code restrictions.
A hidden crypt discovered beneath the altar during the 1978 earthquake restoration now houses historical exhibits from the Macedonian struggle.
