The Royal Tombs of Vergina are a collection of ancient burial sites located in the town of Vergina, Greece. These tombs are believed to date back to the fourth century BC and are considered to be some of the most important archaeological discoveries in the country.
The tombs were discovered in 1977 by a team of archaeologists led by Manolis Andronikos. The site is believed to have been the burial place of the Macedonian royal family, including King Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.
The tombs are located in a hillside complex and are accessed through a small museum. Visitors can explore the tombs and view the intricate frescoes and artifacts that have been preserved for centuries. The most impressive tomb is known as the "Tomb of Philip II" and contains a wealth of treasures, including a gold wreath, a silver urn, and a golden larnax (a type of ancient Greek coffin).
The Royal Tombs of Vergina are considered to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are a must-see destination for anyone interested in ancient Greek history and culture. The site is open to visitors year-round, although hours may vary depending on the season. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water, as the site can be quite hot and dusty during the summer months.
