Pylos, Archaeological site in Messenia Prefecture, Greece.
The Palace of Nestor stands on a hilltop, featuring multiple chambers, storage rooms, and administrative areas spread across an extensive complex.
Excavations between 1955 and 1958 at Epanò Englianos revealed two Mycenaean palaces and over six hundred Linear B tablets dating from 1300 BCE.
The palace archives contain Linear B tablets that document detailed records of trade, administration, and daily life in Mycenaean society.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through paved roads connecting to major cities in the Peloponnese region of Greece.
The palace lacks defensive walls, making it structurally different from other Mycenaean centers like Mycenae and Tiryns.
