Tomb of Clytemnestra, Ancient tomb at Mykines, Greece

The Tomb of Clytemnestra features a circular burial chamber with a high vaulted roof and a stone-lined entrance passage called dromos.

Built around 1250 BCE, this tholos tomb represents one of nine royal burial structures near Mycenae from the Late Bronze Age period.

The burial practices reflected in the tomb structure demonstrate the advanced architectural methods and social hierarchy of Mycenaean civilization.

Visitors can explore the tomb complex within the archaeological site of Mycenae, which maintains regular opening hours throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations in the entrance passage revealed mirrors and ornaments that provide evidence of ancient Mycenaean customs.
