The Arch of Galerius and the Rotunda are neighbouring early fourth-century AD monuments in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, representing outstanding examples of early Byzantine art and architecture. The arch, also known as the Kamara, functions as a tetrapylon triumphal structure, while the Rotunda stands as one of the earliest Christian monuments in the Eastern Roman Empire. Together, these Roman-era buildings exemplify the transition from pagan to Christian imperial culture and were jointly inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1988 as part of the broader ensemble of Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments in Thessaloniki.
