metadata.value: The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the Palaeologan architecture of Thessaloniki.
  Based on the analysis of approaches to the facades organization, iconographic and compositional features
  of the facade decor, an attempt is made to clarify the local specifics of the Thessalonikan architecture and
  establish the patterns of its development. Among the main features that form the architectural identity
  of Thessaloniki are: a combination of metropolitan and provincial traditions, rethinking and combining
  retrospective elements in line with current stylistic trends, rooted in the traditions of Byzantine architecture
  and rejection of Western European stylistic elements. In its development, Thessalonikan architecture went
  through two stages, each of which is marked by an appeal to the traditions of previous periods. The first stage
  (late 13th – first third of the 14th century) is characterized by intensive development of the local variant of
  the Palaeologan style based on combination of the traditions of Constantinople, Epirus, Nicea, Northern and
  Southern Greece. These searches are carried out on the basis of the same architectural type and show three
  different approaches to the organization of facades in a combination of metropolitan and provincial stylistic
  paradigms (vertical and horizontal systems of articulation, architectural decor and retrospective vocabulary
  of ceramoplastic decorative elements). The monuments of the second stage (1350s – 1378) are marked
  by typological variety and show a tendency to reproduce and interpret local architectural models from
  the first third of the 14th century. The dynamics of the development of Thessalonican architecture does not
  allow to characterize this center as conservative, and the retrospectiveness of the Palaeologan architecture
  of Thessaloniki seems to be a creative method of local masters rather than a qualitative characteristic of
  their works.
