Kasta Tomb

The Kasta Tomb, also known as the Amphipolis Tomb, is the largest ancient tumulus ever discovered in Greece, dating to the late 4th century BC. Enclosed by a nearly 497-meter marble-clad perimeter wall, the monumental burial complex features two sphinxes flanking the entrance, four caryatids, and a mosaic floor depicting the abduction of Persephone. Some scholars argue it was a memorial dedicated to Hephaestion, Alexander the Great's closest companion, though others suggest Olympias, Alexander's mother, as the occupant.
