Historically
important
monument
and
pride
of
all
Greeks.
In
the
area
of
Nea
Paralia,
one
of
the
most
popular,
full
of
energy
sites
of
Thessaloniki,
it
is
possible
to
find
the
monument
of
one
of
the
most
famous
and
influential
personalities
of
all
times.
A
person
who
created
a
legend
still
heard
until
today.
This
is
the
monument
of
Alexander
the
3rd,
also
known
as
'Alexander
the
Great'.
Its
rich
and
interesting
history
is
more
or
less
familiar
to
everyone.
Born
in
356Bc
in
Pella,
Macedonia
he
was
the
son
of
King
Philip
the
2nd
of
Macedon
and
Princess
Olympia
whose
origin
was
from
Epirus.
He
had
the
privilege
to
be
educated
by
one
of
the
greatest
philosophers
of
all
time,
Aristotle.
Alexander
inherited
the
throne
of
the
Macedonian
Kingdom
right
after
his
father's
assassination
in
336
Bc.
He
used
some
of
the
most
genius
strategies
and
military
tactics
thus
ending
up
in
some
of
the
greatest
triumphs
in
human
history.
Until
his
death
in
323Bc
in
Babylon
he
had
already
created
an
enormous
empire
stretching
from
Thrace
and
Macedonia
to
the
depths
of
Egypt
and
the
Indian
Peninsula
in
the
Far
East.
New
commercial
trade
routes
were
established
for
the
first
time.
Establishing
a
touch
between
civilizations
that
had
never
met
before.
Alexander's
achievements
had
set
the
foundation
for
the
era
to
come.
He
was
credited
with
the
rise
of
Greek
civilization
that
spread
all
over
the
world
at
an
unprecedented
level
thus
influencing
science,
art
and
culture.
The
monument
on
the
shore
itself
is
an
impressive
six-meter
tall
monument
that
represents
Alexander
while
riding
his
horse
"Voukefalas"
(Bucephalus),
one
of
the
most
famous
horses
of
antiquity.
Certainly
nice
to
see.
