Acheiropoietos

"Acheiropoietos" is a church that is dedicated in Virgin Mary and that means it was not made by human hand and the title is probably referring to the cult image. The church was built on the remains of Roman baths during the 5th century. Panagia Acheiropoietos is a three-aisled basilica with a narthex on the west side and a second entrance with a monument propylon in the middle of the south wall.

This church was the first that the Ottomans transformed into a mosque during 1430 when they invade and conquest Thessaloniki. All the frescos and the mosaic of the church were destroyed almost completely.

Now, after the restoration, the visitors can observe some parts of the wall paintings that date back to the 13th century that are preserved and also some fragments of the mosaics that have survived and date back to the 5th century.
