Kasta tomb, Ancient burial monument in Amphipolis, Greece

The Kasta Tomb features a circular perimeter wall stretching 500 meters, with three chambers containing marble decorations and intricate stone carvings throughout the structure.

Constructed during the late fourth century BC, this burial site contains remains of five individuals, including a woman over 60 and two men between 35-45 years old.

The tomb exhibits classical Macedonian architectural elements, including sphinx statues at the entrance and two caryatids supporting the roof in the second chamber.

Archaeological teams continue their research at the site, which opened to selected visitors, including researchers and tour operators, in April 2023.

The marble mosaic within the tomb depicts the mythological scene of Persephone's abduction by Pluto, demonstrating advanced artistic techniques of ancient Macedonia.
