Tiryns
Tiryns is a Mycenaean archaeological citadel on a low hill in Argolis, Peloponnese, known for its massive Cyclopean walls, palace complex and corbelled tunnels. The surviving remains include the megaron (palace reception hall), thick ashlar wall-bases, triangular-roofed tunnels and other palatial and defensive structures.

As it stood in 1300 BC
What Tiryns looked like in its prime.
Thick Cyclopean walls built from irregular massive pale limestone blocks form a heavy, roughly coursed silhouette; corbelled, triangular-roofed tunnels tunnel through the wall mass. The palace megaron has a rectangular plan with an outer portico of two columns, an anteroom and a main domos centred on a circular hearth surrounded by four wooden columns. Wall bases show alabaster slabs with relief motifs and painted fresco zones; the site sits atop a low elongated hill above the plain.
