★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ultimate meeting point of all who reside in the city of Thessaloniki and gathering/starting place for demonstrations. The arch of Galerius (Kamara for the Greek speaking) is one of the most iconic and famous landmarks of the city which everyone should visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The arch is a majestic monument depicting the victory of Galerius against the Persians. Emperor Galerius is associated with Serdica, which was his residence for a long time and from there he ruled the empire. It is said that his grave is located in today's Sofia.
The stone bas-reliefs adorning the columns of the monument are arranged one above the other in four belts. They are separated from each other by colorful garlands. It was built in the 300s. The arch was part of the fortress wall surrounding the entire city.
On these days, it is one of the most popular places in Thessaloniki for locals, where they organize meetings, as well as for tourists. Near it there is a beautiful park with lots of greenery.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great monument created after the Roman emperor won the Persian army in 305 a.C. Now is the most famous place in the center of Thessaloniki as a meeting spot ??.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Galerius was a Roman head from 305 to 311 .After his effective mission against the Persians in 299 AD,he picked Thessaloniki as one of the capitals of the province.The curve of Galerius is close to Rotunda, the Castle of Galerius, Octagon and Hippodrome (Galerius Royal residence Complex) , all should visit places. The curve commends the Roman Realm as a feature of Galerius' triumph over the Persian Sassanid lord. Close by you can discover numerous road food shops with tasty food.
Else referred to just as 'Kamara', this is a central issue of Thessaloniki. This is important for a space of the town known for its imaginative, option and understudy vibe. It is a chronicled landmark, which individuals can additionally investigate, however it is likewise a beginning stage for different landmarks. Straight above it is the Rotonda and straightforwardly underneath is Navarinou square. This more extensive region is continually clamoring with life and it is loaded with extremely modest or free vacation destinations (galleries, similar to the mosaics in Navarinou), yet in addition extraordinary bistros, astonishing shops, alongside some incredible trinket shops as well. It merits halting at one of the more elective stone bistros here or in one of the tavernas. It likewise has many bus stations and most lines pass straightforwardly from that point or extremely close to it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool spot, very accessible. Wish they had more signage explaining what the arch is about and when it was built, however I think that if they did that then they would have too many tourist blocking side walk
