The Cathedral of Agios Grigorios Palama is located within close distance from the beach on the junction of Mitropoleos and Agias Sofias Street. It was built in the place of an older church of Agios Dimitrios, which was the metropolis of Thessaloniki during the Ottoman Empire and was burned in the fire of 1890. It was designed by E. Ziller and the original designs were reformed by the Greek architect Xenofon Peonidis. The church is of cross-in-square type with a grand octagonal dome and four tall belfries as well as apparent, as you will see, influences from the Neo-Roman and Neoclassical architecture. In its interior and to your left is located the holy relic of Agios Grigorios of Palama, an archbishop of Thessaloniki.
