Palace of Aigai Reopens After 16-Year Restoration

The ancient palace, where Alexander the Great was crowned, is set to welcome the public on Sunday.

The Palace of Aigai, where Alexander the Great was crowned king, has reopened after a 16-year restoration.
The restoration cost more than €20m ($22m), with financial support from the European Union.
The palace was built more than 2,300 years ago by Philip II, Alexander the Great's father, and was the largest building in classical Greece.
The site, near Greece's northern port city of Thessaloniki, will reopen to the public on Sunday.
The palace and the nearby tombs of Philip and other Macedonian kings are a Unesco World Heritage Site.
