The square dates back to the Roman period of the city, with the ruins of the palace of Galerius located within it. The square is beside the "Hippodromus Square", where the Massacre of Thessalonica took place during the reign of Theodosius I.
Today Navarinou is a popular meeting place, mainly amongst the student population of the city.
Hot info: My father painted the plan of the archeological side on the side of the building on top of the square!!!
