Alexander the Great statue, Thessaloniki, Bronze equestrian monument at Nea Paralia, Greece
The bronze statue portrays Alexander the Great riding his horse Bucephalus, reaching a height of 6.15 meters on the Thessaloniki waterfront.
Erected through public fundraising efforts in 1973, the statue commemorates the Macedonian emperor who built an empire stretching from Greece to parts of India.
The monument includes a relief depicting the Battle of Issus, with the sides displaying spears and shields bearing engravings of mythological figures.
