The Archaeological Museum of Philippi houses invaluable exhibits from every time period that affected the region, and every figure who defined it: Philip II, Octavian Augustus and Paul the Apostle.
The first section, on the ground floor, features finds from prehistoric to Roman times. These include a collection of naturalistic figurines from the Neolithic settlement at Dikili Tash, splendid funerary stelae from the Hellenistic period and marble sculptures from the Roman forum and theatre
The second section, located on the museum’s first floor, presents Christian Philippi from its heyday during the Early Christian period to its abandonment after the Turkish occupation in late 14th century. Here, one can marvel at inscriptions on mosaics and architectural members from the majestic Early Christian basilicas.
