The Museum of the Royal Tombs at Aigai, Vergina
The Museum of the Royal Tombs at Aigai is a Greek heritage site some 75km west of Thessaloniki. There, visitors can explore ancient ruins and also venture into an underground cemetery-turned-museum. Its tombs boast relics dating back millennia, primarily to the ancient Macedonian civilisation.
Among the most highly lauded exhibits at the Museum of the Royal Tombs are exquisite pieces of jewellery, ancient frescoes and impeccably preserved miniature statues made of ivory. The site also contains the burial cluster of Phillip II of Macedon, who is perhaps most famed for being the father of Alexander the Great.
