10 Monuments & Statues in Thessaloniki That You Shouldn't Miss
Thessaloniki (Greek: Θεσσαλονίκη, Thessaloníki [θesaloˈnici] ( listen)), also familiarly known as Thessalonica or Salonica, is the second-largest city in Greece, with over 1 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, and the capital of Macedonia, the administrative region of Central Macedonia and the Decentralized Administration of Macedonia and Thrace. Its nickname is η Συμπρωτεύουσα (Symprotévousa), literally "the co-capital", a reference to its historical status as the Συμβασιλεύουσα (Symvasilévousa) or "co-reigning" city of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, alongside Constantinople.

The Arch of Galerius is situated on the north of Egnatia just to the south of the Rotunda. It was constucted to celebrate the victory of the Emperor Galerius over the Persians in 298 A.D. Only two of the original four arches remain but the bas reliefs on the arches are still highly impressive despite the constructions age. It's a great photo opportunity and well worth stopping for a few moments before exploring the rest of this fascinating area - the remains of the Galerian Palace Complex can be seen/visited if one continues towards the sea.

The bronze statue of Aristotle sits discreetly in a pedestrian walk that is flanked a large and long avenue bearing his name. His feet are shiny, seemingly rubbed by admirers who literally sit at his feet.
