        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.
