House of the Tiles, Archaeological landmark in Lerna, Greece.
The two-story structure measures 12 by 25 meters, featuring thick stone walls, terracotta roof tiles, and narrow corridors along its sides.
The House of the Tiles, built during the Early Helladic II period around 2500-2300 BC, served as an administrative center before its destruction by fire.
Over 150 clay sealings discovered in one of the outer rooms indicate a sophisticated administrative system and early urban organization.
The site lies in the Argos-Mykines municipality, approximately 10 kilometers south of Argos near the modern village of Myloi.
Following its destruction in the 22nd century BC, inhabitants constructed a memorial tumulus over the ruins rather than rebuilding the structure.
