The Rotunda is a 4th-century domed circular building in Thessaloniki, similar to the Pantheon in Rome. Its original use is not known, but various hypotheses have been put forward so far: that there was a temple of Zeus or the Kabeiri, that it was constructed by Caesar Galerius as his mausoleum or as a throne room in the palace complex. It was converted into a temple during the early Christian period, which some researchers identify with the temple of Asomatous Forces mentioned in Byzantine sources. In 1591 it was converted into a mosque by Sheikh Chortaji Suleiman Efendi. After the liberation of Thessaloniki in 1912, it was dedicated to Agios Georgios. It is included in the Early Christian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
