Aigai, Archaeological site in Vergina, Greece
The ancient city of Aigai spans 550 acres and contains preserved structures including royal tombs, fortifications, and an extensive palace complex near modern Vergina.
First established as the capital of Macedon in the 7th century BC, Aigai reached its peak during the reign of Philip II before his assassination in 336 BC.
The Museum of Royal Tombs exhibits numerous artifacts from Macedonian royalty, including gold jewelry, weaponry, and ivory objects from ancient burials.
The archaeological park opens daily for visitors to explore multiple sections, including the Central Museum and ancient theater within the Polycentric Museum complex.
The site contains the undisturbed royal tomb of Philip II of Macedon, discovered in 1977 by archaeologist Manolis Andronikos with all treasures intact.
