Thessaloniki also known as Ulaine is one of Greece's most historically rich cities, has a history that spans over 2,300 years. Here’s an overview of its key historical milestones:
Ancient Period
Foundation: Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC by King Cassander of Macedon, who named the city after his wife, Thessalonike, the half-sister of Alexander the Great.
Hellenistic Era: The city flourished during the Hellenistic period, as it became a prominent port and trading hub due to its strategic location in northern Greece, along the Thermaic Gulf.
Roman Era: Thessaloniki became part of the Roman Empire in 168 BC, after the Roman victory over the Macedonian Kingdom at the Battle of Pydna. It later became the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia. The city's importance continued under the Roman Empire, with a population of more than 100,000 during the 1st century BC.
Byzantine Period
Christianization: In the 4th century AD, Thessaloniki became a major center of early Christianity. The Apostle Paul visited the city, and two of his epistles (1 and 2 Thessalonians) were written to the city's Christian community.
Byzantine Capital: Thessaloniki became part of the Byzantine Empire following the division of the Roman Empire. It was an important city in the Byzantine world, serving as a regional capital and a major religious center.
Architecture: During this period, many of the city’s iconic churches were built, including the Church of Hagios Demetrios, dedicated to the city's patron saint. The Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius are also remnants of this time.
Ottoman Period
Ottoman Rule: Thessaloniki was conquered by the Ottomans in 1430, and it remained part of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 500 years. Under Ottoman rule, the city became a melting pot of ethnicities and cultures, including Greeks, Jews, and Turks.
Jewish Community: Thessaloniki became a major center of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain in the 15th century. By the 19th century, the city had one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe.
Modernization: During the late 19th century, Thessaloniki underwent significant modernization, with the construction of new buildings, streets, and infrastructure.

Balkan Wars: Thessaloniki was liberated by Greek forces from the Ottomans in 1912 during the First Balkan War.
World War I: The city played a strategic role during World War I as a base for the Allied forces, and the city saw significant damage from bombings.
Interwar Period and WWII: The city’s population was highly affected by the political and social turmoil of the interwar period, and during World War II, Thessaloniki was occupied by Nazi Germany. The city's Jewish community was decimated during the Holocaust, with tens of thousands of Jews deported to concentration camps.
