Alexandrion, Exhibition building in Litochoro, Greece

The Alexandrion is a U-shaped building of the international Alexander the Great Institute, set just above the A1 motorway near the Litochoro exit, below Mount Olympus. Its exhibition rooms hold paintings, panels and exhibits on Alexander's life, from his birth at Pella to his campaign as far as India, with Greek and English commentaries on Vergina, Pella and Dion.

The foundation was established in 1992 as an initiative by Greeks from the diaspora to create a connection with their homeland. The project arose in the area near Dion, a place with deep ties to ancient Macedonian history.

The center preserves exhibitions and documents that show how Alexander the Great shaped the ancient world. Through these displays, visitors see how this historical figure remains meaningful to Greek identity today.

The building sits near the Olympus region and is easy to reach from the main highway between Athens and Thessaloniki. Visitors should note that the location is in a mountainous area and should allow time for viewing the exhibitions.

Inside is a reproduction of the famous Alexander mosaic from Pompeii, showing battles against Persian armies. This artwork offers a visual impression of how ancient warfare was depicted artistically.
