Yes — it is an open, free archaeological park in the middle of the city, with a restored Roman odeon and a small museum.
The excavated two-level forum — the administrative heart of Roman Thessaloniki, built over an earlier Hellenistic agora — with a restored odeon (a small Roman theatre for shows), colonnaded courtyards, and a cryptoporticus (vaulted underground gallery). A small on-site museum sets the finds in context.
