AIGAI ANTIQUE THEATER
Not much remains of the theater, which could seat 5,000 spectators. But it was here that Philip II was assassinated.
This archaeological site (Αρχαίο Θέατρο των Αιγών/Archaio Theatro ton Aigon) is disappointing: all that remains is the carved stone front row of the city's ancient theater. Built into the hillside in the 4th century B.C., it could seat 5,000 spectators and was destroyed by the Romans in 168 B.C. It was here, in 336 B.C., that Philip II was assassinated for obscure reasons by one of his bodyguards, Pausanias of Orestides. You can park next door and then continue by 4 x 4 or on foot to the palace.
