After 2 thousand years of silence and mystery, Alexander the Great’s half-sister – a queen named Thessaloniki – recounts her story, that of her people and her city, Thessaloniki. 

Since its creation by King Kassandros until the advent of Christianity, via Roman domination, 6 centuries of success and human drama unfold before our eyes. 
The city’s archaeological museum houses wonders exhumed from the past. Between its walls, this fabulous history comes to life in the form of statues, day-to-day objects, eternal life-giving works of art that were buried with their deceased owners, sombre-looking busts, sparkling gold necklaces and touching prayers written on papyrus. Every object recounts the history of Greece’s second largest city.
