Galerius palace, Roman imperial palace in Thessaloniki, Greece

The palace complex contains substantial remains of walls, courtyards, peristyles, and corridors decorated with mosaic floors across Navarinou Square area.

The octagonal structure, measuring 30 meters in diameter, functioned as a throne room displaying the power of Roman administration in ancient Greece.

The complex includes a massive Hippodrome extending 400 meters, where ancient marble elements were later incorporated into the city walls.
