Small in size church located near the old Cassadrean Gate and north of the Byzantine central avenue, Leoforos. The temple is close to Rotunda and the arch of Galerius. An unearthly touch created by radians of natural light shining in front of the temple make the visitor feel closer to the creator. The church is of the tetrastyle cross-in-square type, with a narthex and a (now destroyed) ambulatory that is connected to two chapels (still extant). The architectural style is following the typical style of the Byzantine churches in Thessaloniki during the Paleologian Era (1261-1453). The few surviving frescoes are from the early 14th century.

The main church (katholikon) of the Byzantine monastery of the Theotokos Peribleptos, a 14th century intellectual center connected with the writing and teaching activities of the outstanding Hellenists, Thomas Magistros and Matthaios Blastaris.

The Church of Saint Panteleimon is a late Byzantine church in Thessaloniki, Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church's architecture and decoration are date to the late 13th/early 14th centuries.

The Church of Saint Panteleimon is a late Byzantine church in Thessaloniki, Greece, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Interior The church lies in the eastern part of the old city, near the Tomb of Galerius (the "Rotunda"). Its current dedication to Saint Panteleimon was given to the church after the end of Ottoman rule in 1912, and its original dedication is therefore disputed. In Ottoman times, it was converted into a mosque in 1548 and became known as Ishakiye Camii ("Mosque of Ishak [Isaac]"), which in the prevailing scholarly interpretation points to an identification with the late Byzantine Monastery of the Virgin Peribleptos, also known as the Monastery of Kyr Isaac after its founder Jacob, who was the city's metropolitan bishop in 1295–1315 and became a monk with the monastic name of Isaac. The church is of the tetrastyle cross-in-square type, with a narthex and a (now destroyed) ambulatory that is connected to two chapels (still extant). Very few of the building's original wall paintings survive. Ottoman remains include the base of the demolished minaret and a marble fountain.
