Pella
Pella was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Macedon and the birthplace of Philip II and Alexander the Great. The archaeological site preserves a large Hellenistic city plan with an expansive agora, colonnaded stoas, richly decorated houses with pebble-mosaic floors, and a terraced royal palace on a hill.

Ruin
As it stood in 250 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
Low, squared pebble-mosaic pavements in geometric patterns fill house courts; rows of fluted white stone columns (some complete, some broken) mark colonnades and porticoes. Foundations and low walls of sun-bleached limestone form rectilinear blocks and streets across flat, grassy ground. Palace terraces rise on a gentle hill with stepped retaining walls. The site opens onto a broad horizon and, in its prime, faced a marshy inlet to the south under a clear blue sky.
