Acropolis of Mycenae, Bronze Age citadel ruins in Argolis, Greece.
The fortified hilltop settlement contains massive stone walls, grand entrance gates, and royal tombs spread across multiple levels of the acropolis.
The city reached its peak around 1350 BC with 30,000 inhabitants and maintained control over maritime trade routes in the eastern Mediterranean.
The Lion Gate entrance displays a limestone relief depicting two lions beside a pillar, representing early developments in Greek monumental sculpture.
The archaeological site remains open daily from 8:00 to 20:00 during summer months, with reduced hours from 8:00 to 15:00 in winter.
The walls incorporate limestone blocks weighing up to 100 tons, constructed using engineering methods that remain partially unknown to modern researchers.
