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.
