This attraction is located on the highest point of the old city. It is here that the Byzantine Fortress Walls and a large observation deck with a beautiful view of the city of Thessaloniki and the Thermeian Gulf are located. After numerous raids, the walls were restored more than once, so they have survived to this day. You can get to them by moving from the Arc de Triomphe of Emperor Galerius in the opposite direction from the sea. Inside the fortress walls there is a Byzantine fort, which served as a prison for many years. The length of the walls is quite large, because from them you can walk to the Upper City. And then take a walk along its narrow cobbled streets, taking pictures of bizarre houses and cats. Yes, there are a lot of cats here : ) This attraction is interesting, perhaps, only for its panorama from the observation deck and the opportunity to walk around the Upper Town.
