Verghina


Archaeological site and ancient capital of Macedonia, northern Greece. Built on a site in use from the Stone Age, it was first called Balla. The palace of Palatista, partly destroyed by fire, dates from the reign of Antigonus III Doson (c. 263 – 221 BC). An Iron Age cemetery that dates from the 10th – 7th centuries BC is near the palace. The 4th-century-BC royal tomb of Philip II of Macedon also is at Verghina.
