The statue of the famous king and leader was erected in Thessaloniki in 1973 on the newly created Nea Paralia, a huge square with a park that touches the seaside promenade right next to Thessaloniki's most famous landmark, the White Tower. The bronze equestrian statue is located just a few meters from the sea and faces south-east. The equestrian statue of King Alexander the Great is 6 meters high and placed on a 5-meter pedestal made of dark marble. The statue stands on a surface of white marble for contrast. The area around the statue is very popular with both tourists and locals, and crowds of people gather here especially at sunset. https://www.cestee.pl/cele-podrozy/grecja/saloniki/posag-aleksandra-wielkiego

The statue of Alexander the Great

One of the sights in the city. You can also go up the tower and enjoy the view. If you are traveling by car, you should leave the car somewhere and then walk because there is a lot of traffic there.

Please keep the area clean ✌🏻

The White Tower is an architectural monument and museum in the city of Thessaloniki. Since its construction in the 15th and 16th centuries by the Ottoman architect Sinan, the White Tower has served as a fortification, garrison, prison and museum. The White Tower stands immediately south of the port of Thessaloniki on the shores of the Thermaic Gulf. From northwest to southeast, Thessaloniki's waterfront passes Leoforos Nikis, the White Tower. The White Tower consists of two cylindrical components that are placed one on top of the other in steps and have a total height of 31 m. The first component has a diameter of 23 m and a height of 27 m above ground. The second component that sits on top of this and ends at the top, which could also be called a drum, has a diameter of 12 m and a height of 6 m. The White Tower and its predecessors originally served to close and guard the eastern and southeastern end of the sea walls of the city of Thessaloniki. Today the tower has a grayish color - it has retained its name “White Tower” unchanged since 1912. The tower houses an exhibition of the Museum of Byzantine Culture on the history of Thessaloniki and is one of the city's tourist attractions. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei%C3%9Fer_Turm_(Thessaloniki)
