The iconic Arch of Galerius (Kamara) is perhaps the most distinctive roman structure in the city of Thessaloniki and a popular tourist attraction

---

At the crux of the major axes of the city, the Arch of Galerius emphasized the power of the emperor and linked the monumental structures with the fabric of 4th-century Thessaloniki. The arch was composed of a masonry core faced with marble sculptural panels celebrating a victory over the Sassanid Persians. About two-thirds the arch is preserved.
