The Church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour (Шаблон:Lang-el, Naós Metamorphóseos tou Sotíros) is a 14th-century Byzantine chapel in Thessaloniki, Greece.[1] It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki.[2]

History

The church has been dated to about 1350, based on a coin found within its dome during archaeological investigations and restoration work following the 1978 Thessaloniki earthquake.[3]

Construction and furnishings

The lower part of the chapel is made of unhewn stone, the upper part of brickwork. It consists of a central room in the form of a tetraconchos, inscribed in a square and vaulted by a dome on a comparatively high tambour structured by archivolts and half-columns.Шаблон:Citation needed
