Cathedral of the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception, Thessaloniki

Cathedral of the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception, Thessaloniki, Catholic cathedral in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The Cathedral stands on Fragon Street with Renaissance influences, featuring three aisles, Corinthian columns, and stained glass windows illuminating the interior space.

The current structure, completed in 1900 and designed by architect Vitaliano Poselli, replaced an earlier temple from 1743 at the same location.

The cathedral represents the Catholic presence in predominantly Orthodox Thessaloniki and maintains regular services in both Greek and English languages.

Located at Fragkon 19, the cathedral entrance sits between taller buildings and opens for morning services, with specific mass schedules available online.

French tobacco merchant Frederick Charnaud provided financial support for the construction, while Slovenian Lazarist brother Michael Bucar decorated the crypt.
