Restored Palace of Aigai unveiled

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis inaugurated the recently restored Palace of Aigai in northern Greece on Friday.

With an area of approximately 15,000 square meters, it was the largest building in classical Greece.

The project to maintain and restore the Palace of the Aigai lasted 16 years and was completed in 2023 with a total budget of 20.3 million euros.

The city of Aigai (Vergina) was the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia, and was upgraded with an extensive building program by Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.
