Mitsotakis: The restoration of Philip II palace in Aigai is of global importance
The inauguration of the restored palace of the king of Macedonia, Philip II in Aigai, which has been called the "Parthenon of Macedonia", is an event of global importance, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Friday during the inauguration ceremony.
"It is not by chance that I have chosen to be here again, in the first, essentially, visit of the new year, honoring a monument of the Kingdom of Macedonians," the prime minister noted and emphasized: "Our bet is to be able to make Aigai a point of reference, a landmark of our ancestors' greatness, but also a part of our modern life. This wonderful archaeological park can and should become a catalyst of economic development for Vergina, Imathia, and all the region of Macedonia."
The prime minister added that the increase in visitors to the archaeological park of Aigai is a "national bet."
