Thessaloniki is the
capital of Macedonia. Although the area dates back 3000 years, the city's
was founded in 315 B.C., when King Kassandros of Macedon named the city
after his wife Thessalonike, a half-sister of Alexander the Great. St. Paul
visited in A.D. 50 and 56, and set up a Christian community. Thessaloniki's landmarks range from the 15th century Venetian Tower to the Arch of Galerius, erected in A.D. 303. Some magnificent churches date to early beginnings, and many were converted into mosques and synagogues. Between the 17th and 20th centuries Jews made up more than half the population as a result of the arrival in 1492 of some 20,000 Jews who had been expelled from Spain. They played a predominant part in commerce and industry. Thessaloniki centers around Aristotle Square, a traffic-free area bordered by arcadehousing cafes and restaurants. There is a popular pedestrian seafront promenade, and luxury shops and boutiques are found on Odos Mitropoleos and Odos Tsimski.
