Vergina-Veria,the ancient capital of Macedonia

Vergina (ancient name Aigai) is a small town in Northern Greece in the prefecture of Imathia in the region of central Macedonia.It became globally renowed in 1977 after the excavations of the archeologist Manolis Andronikos.

Those excavations came to light among other tombs,the magnificent royal chamber tomb of the King Philippos ll, who was the father of Alexander The Great.Besides this there have been found the tombs of one of Philippos' wives as well as Alexander's the fourth, the alleged son of Alexander The Great.

All those Ancient ruins were hailed as of invaluable historical worth as they proved with tangible evidence that Macedonia not only is the birthplace of Alexander The Great,but also a region of Greek origin.

The most significant findings are the golden Larnax of Philippos ll which bears the ''sun of Vergina"the symbol of Macedonia Kingdom in the shape of the sixteen ray star,as well as swords,armours and personal items of the Royals.

in 1996 UNESCO ranked the archeological site of Aigai in the list of the Global Heritage
