It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a Byzantine monument in Thessaloniki.
The Basilica of St. Demetrius is a church founded on the site of the Roman baths in the 4th century. After earthquakes and fires in the 7th century, a new basilica was erected. During the Turkish reign, in 1493, it was transformed into a mosque "Kasımiye Camii", until the return of the city in Greece in 1912. During a fire in 1917, the building was badly damaged. The restoration works of the basilica began in the 30s and continued until 1948. In 1988, the basilica was inscribed on the list of World Heritage sites along with other "Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki" .
