This short monograph on the little church of Christ the Saviour (Soter) in Thessaloniki, is a brief account of the findings of the archaeological excavation that was part of the work of restoration of the damage suffered by the building during the 1978 earthquake. Special emphasis is placed on the iconographic and stylistic analysis of the wall paintings of the monument.
