The Pammegistoi Taxiarches church (Greek: Ιερός Ναός Παμμεγίστων Ταξιαρχών, lit. 'Holy Church of the All-Great Taxiarchs') is a Byzantine church located in the Upper Town of Thessaloniki, Greece. The church was built in the 14th century, and served as a mosque during the Ottoman period, before it was turned back into a church in 1912. The church underwent significant modifications during the 1950s and the 1960s, and unlike other Byzantine churches in Thessaloniki, a new section was added in neo-Byzantine style.[1]
