I can be subjective because i am inloved by salonic but regard religious sites range is a fantastic city,this town have a magic touch.main atracttion in agia sofia square is the agia sofia church.inside is relic of saint basil former bishop of the city.you will see the level of churches in town is under actual level of streets because are very old so try to find hidden gems all over the place,look eaven in holes made for future subway and you will be amaized. Back to agia sofia square..... When you look at the church at the right side of the square,walk along sidewalk and you will see a hole in ground,is another church of Ioannis prodromos or saint john.have visiting hours and must get down on a long stair after a small iron gate.is a tiny lovely yard with a baptisterium.the surprise is inside this small church and specific under it.there are tunnels like cathacombes full of icons.is a must dont...

Είναι μια από τις πιο γνωστές πλατείες της Θεσσαλονίκης, στο κέντρο της πόλης, στην ομώνυμη οδό με την εκκλησία της Αγίας Σοφίας. Η εκκλησία είναι μια μικρογραφία, κατά κάποιο τρόπο, της περίφημης και παγκοσμίως γνωστής εκκλησίας της Του Θεού Σοφίας, στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Η πλατεία έχει γνωρίσει διάφορες "αναπλάσεις", ενώ η τελευταία διαρκεί αρκετά χρόνια. Στο άνω τμήμα της "στοιχειώνει" η τρύπα για το μετρό, που δυστυχώς θα κρατήσει κι άλλα χρόνια, πάνω που φαινόταν πως θα τελειώσει γρήγορα αυτή η εκκρεμότητα (ας όψονται η πολιτική σκοπιμότητα και η κομματική τυφλότητα, τις οποίες πληρώνουν οι πολίτες). Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως ανακαλύφθηκε και αποκαλύφθηκε το ψηφιδωτό δάπεδο πλατείας, των βυζαντινών χρόνων, η μοναδική σε σπουδαιότητα και μέγεθος (υπάρχει άλλη μία πολύ μικρότερη και λιγότερο όμορφη, πάντως κι εκείνη σημαντική). Στο κέντρο της πλατείας είναι τοποθετημένο το γλυπτό σύμπλεγμα με τους πολίτες που διαβάζουν εφημερίδα (πολύ λίγη σχέση με το σήμερα) και στο επίμηκες συναντάται αρχικά το άγαλμα της γενοκτονίας του Ποντιακού Ελληνισμού και στη συνέχεια το σύμπλεγμα των Ποντίων παπά και δασκάλου με το μικρό μαθητή. Αξιοσημείωτο, επίσης, είναι το γεγονός πως η πλατεία και η περιοχή αναβαπτίστηκαν με την πεζοδρόμηση ενός νευραλγικού τμήματος της οδού Αγίας Σοφίας. Από τη Μακένζι Κινγκ μέχρι την Τσιμισκή. Ήταν ένας χώρος συνεχούς διέλευσης αυτοκινήτων, με διπλοπαρκαρίσματα και μεγάλη ταλαιπωρία πεζών και εποχούμενων. Όταν ο τότε νέος δήμαρχος, Γ. Μπουτάρης, αποφάσισε την πιλοτική πεζοδρόμηση του εν λόγω τμήματος, οι περισσότεροι ένιωσαν μεγάλη έκπληξη, αρκετοί αντέδρασαν με προεξάρχοντες καταστηματάρχες και πολιτικούς αντιπάλους του, ενώ άκουσε τα μύρια όσα εξ αμάξης. Κι όλα αυτά αφού είχε προηγηθεί το άκρως επετυχημένο πείραμα του άξονα της Αριστοτέλους. Μόλις τελείωσε το έργο της (μικρής αλλά σημαντικής αυτής) πεζοδρόμησης και άρχισε να λειτουργεί, όλοι επαινούσαν το δήμαρχο, ενώ κάποιοι... έπιναν νερό στο όνομά του. Το έργο αποτέλεσε λαμπρό παράδειγμα και υπόδειγμα, κατά κοινή ομολογία, που δυστυχώς δεν είχε συνέχεια. Σήμερα αποτελεί έναν ιδιαίτερα ευχάριστο χώρο για τους Θεσσαλονικείς, και όχι μόνο, καθώς επίσης και σημείο αναφοράς για την πόλη. Για βόλτα σε όμορφο χώρο, αγορές, έξοδο για καφέ ή φαγητό, ξεκούραση, μουσική, χορό και διάφορα δρώμενα πολιτικά, πολιτιστικά,...

A meeting point for both youngsters and older ages, it is "dominated" from the church of Agia Sofia (God's wisdom) which is the the third most important church in Thessaloniki (after the city's cathedral and saint Dimitrios) but in my opinion is the most interesting of all three. Apart from the beautiful inside of the church its worth visiting for its "huge" (in terms of Thessaloniki open spaces) yard, especially during the evening and night. Many youngsters hang around and small kids with their parents play :-) In the lower part of the square begins the Agias Sofias pedestrian that leads to the sea, while another interesting pedestrian street (iktinou) is...

I really liked this church. I suspect it is not visited as frequently by tourists because it is a church from the end of the 8th century while most tourists go to the earlier church architecture from the fifth and earlier centuries. But this one is, in my opinion, the more interesting one because it was built during the time when Byzantium did not allow, for a brief period of time, any figurative decorations in the church. So this church is somewhat different from many of the other churches with a lot of figurative art. In this church, the earliest layer of decorations is mostly patterns and mosaics - almost as if it were a mosque.

With a history dating back to the 7th century, this Byzantine church boasts a unique architectural style, featuring a large central dome supported by a complex system of piers and vaults. The same halls that pilgrims and worshippers have for centuries. The church has seen empires rise and fall, and its history is palpable within its walls. The interior offers a glimpse into the past with its impressive frescoes and mosaics. Don't miss this UNESCO World Heritage Site for a journey through Thessaloniki's rich history and artistic heritage. This is a functioning church, so dress respectfully. Cover your shoulders and knees.
