Tomb of Lison and Kallikles, Macedonian tomb in Lefkadia, Greece.

The tomb contains two vaulted chambers with an antechamber measuring 0.89 meters wide and a burial chamber spanning 3.05 meters in width.

Constructed around 250 BC, this tomb served as a burial place for brothers Lyson and Kallikles and their descendants until the Roman conquest.

The painted walls display military equipment, including a Macedonian shield with the Vergina Sun, representing the status of the aristocratic family.

A protective metal structure installed in 1999 covers the archaeological site, which remains closed to preserve the ancient paintings.

Twenty-two niches line the burial chamber walls, containing remains across four generations, with names preserved through architectural inscriptions.
