Vergina

Vergina, known in antiquity as Aigai, was the first capital of the ancient Macedonian kingdom and the royal burial place of its kings. The site gained worldwide recognition with the discovery of the magnificent tomb of King Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, which revealed an extraordinary collection of gold artefacts, weapons, frescoes, and royal treasures. Today, these remarkable finds are preserved within the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai, where the burial chambers remain in their original location beneath an impressive underground museum.

Steeped in history and archaeological significance, Vergina offers an unforgettable insight into one of the most influential civilisations of the ancient world.
