Palace of Nestor, Mycenaean palace ruins in Pylos, Greece
The palace complex spans 170 meters by 90 meters, containing 105 rooms across three wings with storage areas, workshops, and reception chambers.
Construction of the palace dates to the 13th century BCE, serving as an administrative center until its destruction by fire around 1200 BCE.
Archaeologists discovered over 1,000 Linear B tablets at the site, providing detailed records of Mycenaean economic and social activities in ancient Pylos.

The palace features a rectangular throne room with a central circular hearth measuring 4 meters in diameter and an advanced drainage system.
