The Roman emperor Galerius chose Thessaloniki as his seat in AD 299.
Aware of the city’s strategic importance, he decided to implement an ambitious project that would transform it into the administrative capital of his domain.
One of his most important projects was the Palace Complex in the heart of Roman Thessaloniki, a notable monument of Late Antiquity, which extended over 150,000m² and included the impressive building of the Rotunda, the Triumphal Arch (Kamara), the Palace, the Octagon and the Hippodrome.
Today, the Palace is open to the public and has been awarded by the European Union and Europa Nostra for its exemplary restoration and conservation, which transformed it into a well-organized site in the heart of the modern city.
