The 1978 Thessaloniki earthquake (Шаблон:Lang-el) occurred on 20 June at Шаблон:Tooltip. The shock registered 6.5 on the moment magnitude scale, had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe), and was felt throughout northern Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. It was the largest event in the area since the 1932 Ierissos earthquake.[1]

It was the first earthquake that hit a big city in Greece in modern times. It is estimated that 49 people died, 37 of which were living in the same block of flats in the city center that collapsed. More than 220 people were injured and many thousands were left homeless. 3170 buildings (4.5%) were found to have severe damage (red label), 13918 buildings (21.0%) had moderate damage (yellow label), and 49071 buildings (74.5%) were found to have no damage (green label), as per the assessment of the Greek authorities.

There have also been some recorded damage to various local archaeological monuments, such as the Arch of Galerius and Rotunda and the Church of the Acheiropoietos.
