"Exploring the Ancient Palace of Alexander the Great's Coronation 2,300 Years Later"
The Palace of Aigai, the site where Alexander the Great was proclaimed king over 2,300 years ago, has fully reopened in northern Greece after a 16-year renovation costing over 20 million euros. The palace, built during the reign of Alexander's father, Philip II, was the largest building of classical Greece and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restoration included reassembling marble columns and intricate mosaics, revealing the grandeur of the ancient Macedonian capital. The site, which also includes royal tombs discovered in the 1970s, will be open to the public.
