Philippi Archaeological Site

The Philippi Archaeological Site, located in northeastern Greece, was an important ancient city founded in 356 BCE. It is known for its rich history, including its strategic role in Roman times and connection to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE, where Mark Antony and Octavian defeated Brutus and Cassius. The site features well-preserved ruins, including a theater, Roman marketplace, and early Christian churches. Philippi also holds significance in Christian history as the Apostle Paul established one of his early churches here. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors interested in history and archaeology.
