An illustrated account of the architecture and iconographic decoration of seven Byzantine churches of Thessaloniki, together with important historical data. Thessaloniki, the second city of Greece from the point of view of size and importance as an administrative and cultural center, is the most glorious one from the standpoint of sacred Byzantine monuments. It boasts more than a dozen beautiful, awe-inspiring Byzantine churches. These are scattered in various parts of the city. The most famous of them are Saint Demetrios, which is dedicated to the patron saint and protector of Thessaloniki, Panagia Acheiropoietos, Haghia Sophia, Saint George, Hosios David, the Holy Apostles, and Saint Nicholas Orphanos. The churches have superb mural mosaics that have been characterized as, "The purest form of religious art that Christianity has experienced."
