Mycenae, Archaeological site in Mykines, Greece.
The hilltop settlement contains stone fortification walls, the Lion Gate entrance, residential buildings, and royal tombs within a 32-hectare area.
The city reached its peak around 1350 BCE with 30,000 inhabitants and controlled significant portions of southern Greece, Crete, and southwest Anatolia.
Linear B tablets found at Mycenae represent the earliest examples of written Greek language, documenting administrative practices of the society.
The archaeological site opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours during summer months and reduced admission fees during winter.
The Treasury of Atreus features a 13-meter-high dome structure built with perfectly fitted stones, maintaining its shape for over 3000 years.
