Palace of Nestor
The Palace of Nestor is a Late Bronze Age (Mycenaean) palace complex on the hill of Epano Englianos near Pylos, traditionally identified with the Homeric king Nestor. It was an administrative centre with storerooms, workshops, baths, light-wells, a throne (reception) room and an archive of Linear B clay tablets. The complex was occupied around 1300 BCE and was destroyed by fire in the thirteenth century BCE.

What Palace of Nestor looked like in its prime.
A low, sprawling two-storey Mycenaean palace seen as a grid of thick stone and mudbrick partition walls sitting on pale, beaten-earth and lime-plastered floors. Many room outlines survive as short rubble walls topped by rounded fieldstones; surviving wall plaster bears fragments of painted fresco. The plan opens onto a central courtyard and rows of small storerooms; the whole sits on a wooded hilltop beneath a modern steel protective canopy and raised visitor walkways.
