Royal Tombs of Vergina
The Royal Tombs of Vergina are an archaeological site located in northern Greece, near the ancient city of Aigai, the first capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. Discovered in 1977, these tombs date back to the 4th century BCE and are believed to belong to members of the Argead dynasty, including possibly Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.
The site features impressive burial mounds and richly decorated tombs, showcasing exquisite artifacts such as gold jewelry, weapons, and frescoes. The most notable tomb, known as the "Tomb of Philip," contains a stunning painted ceiling and is a significant example of ancient Macedonian burial practices and artistry.
