The restored palace of Aigai reopened this month.
The palace, the largest building in Greek antiquity, was closed for 16 years due to extensive restoration, maintenance, excavation and documentation, reports greekcitytimes.com.
The restoration was supported by the Greek government and the EU and involved preserving over 1 400 metres of marble flooring, columns and intricate mosaic art, covering a space three times the size of the Parthenon.
The palace, in Central Macedonia in north-east Greece, is situated in a designated Unesco Site, alongside Philip II’s tomb and the neighbouring tombs of other Macedonian rulers.
