★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Theater of ancient Aigai (named also Aegae) - is located 500m south to Vergina and 100m north to the palace of Philip II of Aegae.
The palace and the small theater beside were constructed during the reign of Philip II (359-336 B.C.),
The palace, together with the Parthenon, is considered the biggest and the most significant building of classical Greece.
The theater that was partially excavated and the palace form a single building complex designed and built in the second half of the 4th century BC.
The theater was never completed and was abandoned in the mid-2nd century BC, when the city of Aigai was destroyed.
The theater area is open to the public, but it has almost no interest and the only site worth spending time, is the Palace of King Philip II.
If you arrive till here, don't miss a visit at the remarkable site/ museum of Royal Burial Cluster of Philip II at the center of Vergina!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very old theater, used for gatherings even before theater shows existed. Just the first row was made of stone, the others were made of wood.
