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.
Emperor Galerius constructed this palace in the early 4th century when he established Thessaloniki as the capital of his Roman province.
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.
