Mycenae

Mycenae is an ancient fortified archaeological citadel in the Argolid of the Peloponnese, Greece, that was a major centre of late Bronze Age Greek civilization. The site preserves massive Cyclopean walls, the Lion Gate entrance, royal shaft graves and tholos tombs, and palace remains with a megaron plan.

Partial ruin

As it stood in 1350 BC

The shape it held in its prime.

Broad, rough Cyclopean walls of enormous irregular limestone blocks form a high, angular citadel silhouette on a rocky hilltop. A monumental rectangular gate with a single massive lintel supports a triangular relieving panel carved with two confronting animals and a central column; a stepped ramp leads up through the opening. Scattered tholos tomb entrances, beehive chambers, palace foundations, column bases and plastered megaron walls sit among exposed bedrock and open courtyards under clear Mediterranean sky.
