Το Μουσείο της Πέλλας βρίσκεται στις νοτιοανατολικές υπώρειες του λόφου του ανακτόρου, στο βορειοανατολικό τμήμα του επισκέψιμου αρχαιολογικού χώρου, σε άμεση γειτνίαση με το σύγχρονο οικισμό ανατολικά. Αποτελεί τη φυσική κατάληξη του επισκέπτη του αρχαιολογικού χώρου, όπου αυτός έχει τη δυνατότητα να ανασυνθέσει τα αρχαιολογικά στοιχεία που του παρείχαν τα μνημεία κατά την περιήγησή του και να κατανοήσει τις ποικίλες πτυχές της καθημερινής, αλλά και της δημόσιας ζωής της μακεδονικής πρωτεύουσας. Γι' αυτό και οι θεματικές ενότητες της έκθεσης εναρμονίζονται με τους ανασκαφικούς τομείς του χώρου, χωρίς να είναι αποκομμένες η μια από την άλλη. Καθώς είναι χωροθετημένες σε διαφορετικά επίπεδα, που αντιστοιχούν στο εδαφικό ανάγλυφο του χώρου, εξασφαλίζεται η συνεχής οπτική επαφή του επισκέπτη με όλες σχεδόν τις θεματικές ενότητες, αλλά και τον ίδιο τον αρχαιολογικό χώρο, μέσω των ανοιγμάτων-παραθύρων του κτιρίου. Το ορθογώνιο αίθριο του κτιρίου αποτελεί αναφορά στην κεντρική περίστυλη αυλή των οικιών της Πέλλας.
Στην ενότητα της ενημέρωσης παρέχονται στον επισκέπτη μέσα από κείμενα, φωτογραφίες και χάρτες τα απαραίτητα στοιχεία για την γνωριμία του με την Πέλλα: τη γεωμορφολογική εξέλιξη της περιοχής, τον αρχαιολογικό χώρο και τα μνημεία του, τις ενεπίγραφες κεραμίδες με το όνομα ΠΕΛΛΗΣ που οδήγησαν στην ταύτισή της, καθώς και επιλεγμένα νομίσματα από τις ανασκαφές διαφόρων χώρων, κοπές μακεδόνων βασιλέων (από τον Αλέξανδρο Α' ως τον Περσέα), αλλά και των χρόνων μετά τη ρωμαϊκή κατάκτηση του 168 π.Χ.

Macedonian Treasures of Vergina & Pella
Vergina - The town is better known for its remains of Aigai, the first capital of Macedon. It was here in 336 BC that Philip II was assassinated in the theatre and Alexander the Great was proclaimed king.
The burial sites of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great (Tomb II) and also of Alexander IV of Macedon, son of Alexander the Great and Roxana (Tomb III).
Pella - Visit the monumental palatial complex that occupies the northernmost hill of the city, and covers an area of 60.000 m2. Wander around the city’s commercial and manufacturing centre, the so-called agora (ayorá), which was in fact the biggest agora of the ancient world. This huge building complex of 70.000m2 included shops, workshops, administration offices, and the repository of the city’s historical records. The main avenue of agora was actually connected with the city’s port, the ruins of which are still visible today.
The ancient agora is constructed according to the famous urban planning of Hippodamus (Hippodamian grid plan): well-defined city blocks, paved streets with sidewalks, and elaborate water supply and sewage systems. They all illustrate Pella’s modern infrastructure and sophisticated urban design. The two-storey private houses built in Doric and Ionic style brings to mind images of a prosperous, ancient, city.
You will certainly be impressed by the outstanding mosaic floors that used to decorate the city's grand mansions – the most famous are the ones depicting the Abduction of Helen, Rapture, the Amazonomachy (the battle of Amazons), and the Deer Hunt. You can marvel at these decorated floors (considered the most important group of mosaics in Macedonia) at the New Archaeological Museum of Pella.

Pella (Greek: Πέλλα), an ancient Greek city located in the current Pella regional unit of Central Macedonia in Greece, was the capital of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia. On the site of the ancient city of Pella is the Archaeological Museum of Pella.
A common folk etymology is traditionally given for the name Pella, ascribing it to a form akin to the Doric Apella, originally meaning a ceremonial location where decisions were made. However, the local form of Greek was not Doric, and the word exactly matches standard Greek pélla stone, possibly referring to a famous landmark from the time of its foundation. Another proposed etymology is that Pella originally meant defensible citadel on a cliff, and this etymology is backed by the numerous ancient cities throughout Greece with similar name i.e. Pellana, Pallene, Palle, Pelle, Pelion, Palamede, Pellene, etc. The word Polis is most probably derived from that ancient meaning.
The city was founded in 399 BC by King Archelaus (413--399 BC) as the capital of his kingdom, replacing the older palace-city of Aigai. After this, it was the seat of the king Philip II and of Alexander, his son.
----------------------------------------------------
Macedonia today is a geographical region of Greece, and the largest of the Greek territory.
It constitutes most of the geographic and historical region of ancient Macedon, a Greek kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II.
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the Hellenistic period.
The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders.

Greece: The homeland of Alexander the Great (Archeological sights in Vergina, Pella, Dion)
Our search for Alexander the Great takes us to northern Greece where we meet with foremost archaeologists who give insight to his life. Alexander was a Greek king of Macedon, and by the age of thirty had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. We explore the archaeological sites of Aigai (modern Vergina) the ancient first capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Pella where he was born and educated; and the sacred city of Dion where he assembled his armies.

Ancient City of Pella ( Πέλλα) Macedonia,Greece ✔
➤Pella (Greek: Πέλλα), is best known as the ancient and wealthy capital of the kingdom of Macedon in the time of Alexander the Great. On the site of the ancient city is the Archaeological Museum of Pella.
Pella is first mentioned by Herodotus of Halicarnassus (VII, 123) in relation to Xerxes' campaign and by Thucydides (II, 99,4 and 100,4) in relation to Macedonian expansion and the conflict against Sitalces, the king of the Thracians. According to Xenophon, in the beginning of the 4th century BC it was the largest Macedonian city. It was probably built as the capital of the kingdom by Archelaus I, replacing the older palace-city of Aigai although there appears to be some possibility that it may have been created by Amyntas. In antiquity, Pella was a strategic port connected to the Thermaic Gulf by a navigable inlet, but the harbor and gulf have since silted up, leaving the site landlocked.

Macedonia The layout of ancient Pella, Greece.
Encyclopedia Brittanica:
Learn about the significant layout of the ancient city of Pella.
The city was founded by Archelaus (413--399 BC) as the capital of his kingdom, replacing the older palace-city of Aigai (Vergina). After this, it was the seat of the king Philip II and of Alexander, his son. In 168 BC, it was sacked by the Romans, and its treasury transported to Rome. Later, the city was destroyed by an earthquake and eventually was rebuilt over its ruins. By 180 AD, Lucian could describe it in passing as now insignificant, with very few inhabitants.
Pella is first mentioned by Herodotus of Halicarnassus (VII, 123) in relation to Xerxes' campaign and by Thucydides (II, 99,4 and 100,4) in relation to Macedonian expansion and the war against Sitalces, the king of the Thracians. According to Xenophon, in the beginning of the 4th century BC, it was the largest Macedonian city. It was probably built as the capital of the kingdom by Archelaus, although there appears to be some possibility that it may have been Amyntas. It attracted Greek artists such the painter Zeuxis, the poet Timotheus of Miletus and the tragic author Euripides who finishes his days there writing and producing Archelaus.
Archelaus invited the painter Zeuxis, the greatest painter of the time, to decorate it. He was later the host of the Athenian playwright Euripides in his retirement. Euripides Bacchae premiered here, about 408 BC. Pella was the birthplace of Philip II and of Alexander, his son. The hilltop palace of Philip, where Aristotle tutored young Alexander, is being excavated.
In antiquity, Pella was a port connected to the Thermaic Gulf by a navigable inlet, but the harbor has silted, leaving the site landlocked. The reign of Antigonus likely represented the height of the city, as this is the period which has left us the most archaeological remains.
Pella is further mentioned by Polybius and Livy as the capital of Philip V and of Perseus during the Macedonian Wars. In the writings of Livy, we find the only description of how the city looked in 167 BC to Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus, the Roman who defeated Perseus at the battle of Pydna:
...[Paulus] observed that it was not without good reason that it had been chosen as the royal residence. It is situated on the south-west slope of a hill and surrounded by a marsh too deep to be crossed on foot either in summer or winter. The citadel the Phacus, which is close to the city, stands in the marsh itself, projecting like an island, and is built on a huge substructure which is strong enough to carry a wall and prevent any damage from the infiltration from the water of the lagoon. At a distance it appears to be continuous with the city wall, but it is really separated by a channel which flows between the two walls and is connected with the city by a bridge. Thus it cuts off all means of access from an external foe, and if the king shut anyone up there, there could be no possibility of escape except by the bridge, which could be very easily guarded..[2]
The famous poet Aratus died in Pella c. 240 BC. Pella was sacked by the Romans in 168 BC, when its treasury was transported to Rome.
In the Roman province of Macedonia, Pella was the capital of the third district, and was possibly the seat of the Roman governor. Crossed by the Via Egnatia (Strabo VII, 323), Pella remained a significant point on the route between Dyrrachium and Thessalonika. Cicero stayed there in 58 BC, but by then the provincial seat had already transferred to Thessalonika. It was then destroyed by earthquake in the first century BCE; shops and workshops dating from the catastrophe have been found with remains of their merchandise. The city was eventually rebuilt over its ruins, which preserved them, but ca 180 AD Lucian of Samosata could describe it in passing as now insignificant, with very few inhabitants [3]
The city went into decline for reasons unknown (possibly an earthquake) by the end of the 1st century BC. It was the object of a colonial deduction sometime between 45 and 30 BC; in any case currency was marked Colonia Iulia Augusta Pella. Augustus settled peasants there whose land he had usurped to give to his veterans (Dio Cassius LI, 4). But unlike other Macedonian colonies such as Philippi, Dion, and Cassandreia it never came under the jurisdiction of ius Italicum or Roman law. Four pairs of colonial magistrates (IIvirs quinquennales) are known for this period.
The decline of the city was rapid, in spite of colonization: Dio Chrysostom and Lucian both attest to the ruin of the ancient capital of Philip II and Alexander; though their accounts may be exaggerated. In fact, the Roman city was somewhat to the west of and distinct from the original capital; which explains some contradictions between coinage, epigraphs, and testimonial accounts. In the Byzantine period, the Roman site was occupied by a fortified village.
