From 26 April 2004 the metropolitan has been Antimo Rousas.

La Metropolia di Salonicco Comprende Il Comune di Salonicco, I Distretti di Evangelistria e agios Pavlos del comne di neapoli-syne deel comne di pylaia-chortiatis.

In Salonnico is the Cathedral of San Gregorio Palamas and other historical churches, including the Basilica of Santa Sofia (VIII century), the church of the Holy Apostles (14th century) and the church of San Demetrio.

Among the main monasteries of Metropolia, the Latomos monastery, the monastery of Sant’Anastasia and the monastery of Vlatodes can be mentioned.

From a canonical point of view, Metropolia is part of the ecumenical patriarchate of Constantinople. However, being in Greek territory, pastoral management is entrusted to the care of the archbishop of Athens and the Church of Greece.

The city of Thessalonica (in Italian: Thessaloniki) was the seat of an ancient Christian community, whose origins date back to the preaching of the apostle Paul. The book of the acts of the Apostles says that St. Paul came to Greece accompanied by two disciples, both Macedonians, Aristarco and Caio (see at. 19.29 [first] e at. 27,2 [2] ). Tradition considers these two disciples as the first bishops of the Christian Community of thessalonica.

Starting from the fourth century, with the affirmation of Christianity, the city, which was the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia first, became a metropolitan office. Like all the episcopal offices of the prefecture of Illyrian, the Archdiocese of thessalonica was part of the patriarchate of Rome. In the IV/V century, thessalonica is elevated to the rank of vicariate, and their metropolitans became representatives of the bishop of Rome throughout the Illyrian. Later, starting from the middle of the eighth century, [3] Thessalonica and the whole prefecture was subjected by the emperors to the patriarchate of Constantinople.

In the Episcopal Notice Attributed to the Emperor Leo VI (early 10th century), the headquarters of thessalonica appears in 16th place in the hierarchical order of the Metropolias of the patriarchate of Constantinople and 12 Suffragano dioceses are attributed to it: Citro, Berrea, Dragobizia, Serbia and Cassandria, Campania, Petra, Hercula [4] , Lite, Licostomio o Tempe, Bardariota. [5] In reality, originally the suffragano of thessalonica were many more, but most of these disappeared after the occupation and foundation of the first Bulgarian Empire in 681: among these the dioceses of Bargala, Diu, Dobero, Edessa, Eraclea, Parecopoli and stobs, of which no more bishops are mentioned after the seventh century.

Thessalonica is one of the few Orthodox churches of which the Synodicon , historical-dogmatic text for liturgical use, where, on particular occasions and parties of the year, the names of the ancient bishops of their own belonging were publicly read and the heretics of orthodoxy were anathematized. The Synodicon of thessalonica contains the names of 65 bishops from the eighth to the fifteenth century.

On the occasion of the fourth crusade, thessalonica was conquered by the crusaders who founded the kingdom of thessalonica, the largest fiefdom of the Latin empire, which occupied most of northern and central Greece. A archiepiscopal office of the Latin rite was consequently established, which survived for a few years. In fact, in 1224 the city was conquered by Michele Ducas, the Greek Despot of Epirus, while in 1246 it was taken up by the Byzantine Empire.

When the Greeks resumed possession of their city, they made the church of Santa Sofia, who had been the Cathedral of the Latins, their new cathedral until its transformation into a mosque in 1523 or 1525 [6]

Over the following centuries, Tessalonica has lost all its suffragan dioceses, or because they combine the metropolitan seat or because they are raised to the leap of Metropolia.

Five metropolitans of Thessaloniki were elected patriarchs of Constantinople and a patriarch of Alexandria.
