The first capital of ancient Macedonia was Aegae (modern day Vergina) before it was moved to Pella in central Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula. When the Romans conquered Greece they moved the capital to Thessaloniki on the Thermaic Gulf and when Greece liberated Macedonia from Ottoman occupation they retained the capital until today.
