Philippi (Filippoi) archaeological site

Philippi (modern Greek: Filippoi) was founded as Crenides and renamed by Philip II of Macedon in 356 BCE; it later became the scene of the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE and was inhabited until its abandonment following Ottoman conquest in the 14th century. The archaeological site preserves urban remains including a theatre, Roman forum, early Christian basilicas, and necropoleis (graveyards). In 2016 the site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Roman architecture, urban layout, and significance for early Christianity.
