Ancient Pella, Greece

This is the site of Ancient Pella, birthplace of Phillipe the II and his son Alexander the Great. This was the site of the royal home of the rulers of Macedonia. From here Alexander went on to conquer most of the known world at that time. Pella now has a brand new museum that is one of the best i have seen. Other than that, the town has little to offer visitors, except a few bakeries and restaurants around the town square. There are a few nice mosaics and a big sculpture of Alexander on horseback, though not as impressive as the one on the beachfront in Thessaloniki.
