The Archaeological Park of Dion, near Mount Olympus, was a major sanctuary where the ancient Macedonians worshipped the Olympian gods, especially Zeus.
Its Roman houses are famous for refined mosaics, including the celebrated Dionysus mosaic.
It also preserves one of the oldest known hydraulic organs (hydraule), considered the earliest form of pipe organ in the world.
The Archaeological Museum of Dion displays statues, votive offerings, and everyday objects from the site.
Royal Tomb of Philip II of Macedonia
The Aigai Archaeological Site (ancient Vergina) was the first capital of the Macedonian kingdom and the royal burial place of its kings, including Philip II.
The underground Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai preserves the rich grave goods and frescoes discovered in the monumental Macedonian tombs.
The nearby Polycentric Museum of Aigai presents sculptures, inscriptions, and objects illustrating the political and cultural power of ancient Macedonia.
The vast remains of the royal palace—often called the palace of Philip II—dominate the site, highlighting the grandeur of the Macedonian court.
