Alexandrion, Cultural heritage center in Litochoro, Greece
The Alexandrion building stands at the foot of Mount Olympus, housing an international foundation that documents Alexander the Great's achievements and influence.
Established in 1992, the Alexandrion emerged from an initiative by Greek Macedonians abroad to create a connection point with their homeland near Zeus Temple in Dion.
The foundation maintains exhibitions, maps, and a detailed chart depicting Alexander's military path from Macedonia to India, preserving Greek historical knowledge.
The building location near the Litochoro exit of the A1 motorway between Athens and Thessaloniki makes it accessible for travelers along this main route.
Inside the U-shaped structure, visitors encounter a reproduction of the Alexander mosaic from Pompeii, showing battles against Persian forces.
