I want to be abundantly clear. This site should be preserved and cared for better. It’s history is important and significant. The site however is overgrown where it is difficult to see and hard to navigate as this site is completely overrun by grass and weeds. It is disappointing to get next to a placard to read about what it is your supposed to be looking at for the placard and information completely whited out by the sunlight. Although your entry fee of 8 euros also covers the museum, I will say, we almost didn’t go to the museum because this site was so overwhelmingly disappointing. I will not recommend this historical site until it is actually a place where it is maintained and passable. I cannot imagine being a person from this country to come here and learn about all of the rich history of their own countries and civilizations to have it...

I’ve attached photos of the only two things worth seeing at the site. Look at them and save yourself the outrageous €10 entrance fee.

In all seriousness, the history of the site is important, but you get no concept of that from the minimal explanation boards. The paths are not maintained, there’s little shade, there are weeds obscuring everywhere, and no sense of direction when you walk around. There’s the half-constructed museum on site (which moved a 5 minute drive away). The museum is no longer included in the ticket fee - meaning it’s now €20 to see the museum and archaeological site. For comparison’s site, you could see Pompeii, Herculaneum, or the Parthenon for that.

Apparently I’m not the only one feeling it’s not worthwhile: while I was there there wasn’t a single other tourist.

Sad it’s such a mess, especially given the raised...

Non metto in discussione l’importanza del luogo e l’innegabile grandezza, ma attualmente si trova in uno stato penoso. L’agorà è un grande campo di erba, il cui lato ovest non è visibile perché l’erba è alta. In altri punti è stata tagliata ma non è mai stata portata via, quindi le rovine (quello che resta) sono coperte dall’erba tagliata e abbandonata lì. Probabilmente i scavi sono stati interrotti e dovranno riprendere, perché alcune zone sembrano lasciate un po’ in sospeso. Ciò che rimane delle ville non è molto, sono visibili dei mosaici ma francamente non sono molto leggibili perché si possono guardare solo dal basso e sono coperti di polvere. Inoltre io personalmente li ho potuti vedere solo da lontano, non mi hanno fatto avvicinare ai mosaici perché dicevano che c’era una volpe vicino ai mosaici della villa di Helena e poteva essere pericoloso! Peccato però che me lo hanno detto dopo che ho comprato il biglietto! In questo sito l’unica cosa che vale la pena vedere sono i mosaici e i bagni e io non ho visto i mosaici. Però ho pagato il biglietto intero! €10 euro per vedere un sito archeologico abbandonato a se stesso con due dipendenti più la presunta volpe e tre visitatori, me compresa. Questo luogo fa venire tristezza per come è tenuto male e rabbia per come riescono a fregare €10 a qualche fesso come me. Insomma il mio consiglio è: risparmiate tempo e denaro e non andate a vederlo, non ne vale proprio la pena. Invece andate al museo, lì €10 sono spese bene: tutto ciò che hanno trovato nel sito ora si trova al museo. E io ho capito di più del sito guardando il video al museo che visitando il sito stesso. Ma se proprio vi piace sprecare tempo e soldi e volete andare, allora prima andate al museo, se no il sito vi sembrerà soltanto un campo con delle pietre qua e là. Credo che chi ha visto il museo dovrebbe avere accesso gratuito al sito, o almeno avere uno sconto esibendo il biglietto del museo, sarebbe una...

Imagina caminar por una ciudad donde, hace más de 2.000 años, nació uno de los líderes más famosos de la historia: Alejandro Magno. Esta ciudad es Pella, ubicada en el norte de Grecia, que fue la capital del antiguo reino de Macedonia. Aunque gran parte de Pella aún permanece sin excavar, lo que se ha descubierto ha sido asombroso. Por ejemplo, se han encontrado casas con impresionantes mosaicos que muestran escenas como el dios Dionisio montando una pantera y la caza de un león. Estos hallazgos nos ofrecen una visión fascinante de cómo vivían y qué valoraban sus antiguos habitantes. Además, en Pella se encuentra una tumba excavada en la roca conocida como Politálamos, famosa por su diseño arquitectónico y su valor histórico. Esta tumba, tallada directamente en la roca, cuenta con múltiples cámaras y nichos, lo que la hace distintiva en comparación con otras tumbas de la zona. Visitar Pella es como abrir una puerta al pasado, permitiéndonos explorar los orígenes de Alejandro Magno y descubrir los secretos que aún yacen bajo tierra. Cada nuevo hallazgo nos acerca más a comprender la grandeza de esta antigua ciudad y su impacto en la historia. La entrada general cuesta 4 € en la temporada de invierno. La forma más cómoda de llegar a Pella es en coche, ya que el sitio está ubicado a unos 35 kilómetros de Salónica. Aunque es posible llegar en transporte público, las opciones son limitadas, y los horarios pueden ser complicados. Otra alternativa es unirte a un tour organizado desde Salónica. Pella es un lugar que combina historia, misterio y la emoción de descubrir un legado que aún está parcialmente enterrado. Si te interesa el pasado y las aventuras, no te lo puedes perder. Atrévete a conocer el lugar donde nació una leyenda.
