Macedonian architecture, although utilizing a mixture of different forms and styles from the rest of Greece, did not represent a unique or diverging style from other [[Architecture of ancient Greece|ancient Greek architecture]].<ref name="hardiman 2010 518"/> Among the [[classical order]]s, Macedonian architects favored the [[Ionic order]], especially in the [[peristyle]] courtyards of private homes.<ref name="Winter 2006 163">{{harvnb|Winter|2006|p=163}}.</ref> There are several surviving examples, albeit in ruins, of Macedonian palatial architecture, including a [[palace]] at the site of the capital Pella, the summer residence of [[Vergina]] near the old capital Aigai, and the royal residence at [[Demetrias]] near modern [[Volos]].<ref name="Winter 2006 163"/> At Vergina, the ruins of three large [[banquet hall]]s with marble-[[tile]]d floors (covered in the debris of [[roof tiles]]) with floor plan dimensions measuring roughly 16.7 x 17.6&nbsp;m (54.8 x 57.7&nbsp;ft) demonstrate perhaps the earliest examples of monumental [[timber roof trusses|triangular roof trusses]], if dated before the reign of [[Antigonus II Gonatas]] or even the onset of the Hellenistic period.<ref name="Winter 2006 164 165">{{harvnb|Winter|2006|pp=164–165}}.</ref> Later Macedonian architecture also featured [[arch]]es and [[vault (architecture)|vaults]].<ref name="Winter 2006 165">{{harvnb|Winter|2006|p=165}}.</ref> The palaces of both Vergina and Demetrias had walls made of sundried [[brick]]s, while the latter palace had four corner [[tower]]s around a central courtyard in the manner of a fortified residence fit for a king or at least a military governor.<ref name="Winter 2006 163"/>

Macedonian rulers also sponsored works of architecture outside of Macedonia proper. For instance, following his victory at the [[Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC)]], Philip{{nbsp}}II raised a round memorial building at [[Olympia, Greece|Olympia]] known as the [[Philippeion]], decorated inside with statues depicting him, his parents [[Amyntas III of Macedon]] and [[Eurydice I of Macedon]], his wife [[Olympias]], and his son Alexander the Great.<ref>{{harvnb|Errington|1990|p=227}}; see also {{harvnb|Hammond|Walbank|2001|pp=3, 7–8}} for further details.</ref>
