VERGINA – The Royal Tombs
Vergina, identified with ancient Aigai, listed as a World Heritage site, was the first capital of ancient Macedonia, where Phillip II,
father of Alexander the Great was assassinated and Alexander was proclaimed king. The today small village became world known
due to the discovery by the Greek archeologist Manolis Andronikos, of the Royal Tombs and especially that of Philip II, as there,
was supposed to be the burial place of the Macedonian Kings.
The underground museum exhibiting Phillip’s grave as it was found, in situ, and its contents, a unique combination of archeological site and museum at the same time, truly fit for a king,
is one of the most remarkable archaeological displays in Europe, the second most important archaeological site of classical Greece after the Parthenon and one of the 10 MUST
places for someone to visit in his life according to National Geographic!.
