Tiryns, Archaeological site in Nafplio Municipality, Greece.

The ancient citadel features limestone fortification walls measuring 750 meters in length and containing galleries, passages, and storage chambers within their structure.

The settlement flourished during the Late Bronze Age between 1400-1200 BCE, functioning as a military stronghold and administrative center for the Mycenaean civilization.

Linear B tablets discovered at Tiryns provide direct evidence of early Greek language and document the administrative practices of Mycenaean palace organization.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year and offers guided tours in multiple languages.

The walls incorporate stone blocks weighing up to 14 tons, constructed without mortar using precise engineering techniques from the Mycenaean period.
