MYCENAE, TIRYNS
In contrast to other
archaeological sites, Mycenae and Tiryns (1300BC),
in the prefecture of Argolis, Greek Peloponnese, are towering
constructions of huge blocks of grey stone, stacked with superb
precision, forming the monumental impregnable walls that identify these
Mycenaean citadels. Among my pictures are those of the Mycenaean Lion
Gate, Mycenaean Grave Circle, King Agamemnon’s Throne Room and Palace,
Massive Stone Walls, the Postern Gate and even a picture of the tourist
buses crowding the car park! The site of the ruins of Tiryns, near
Nafplio, gives views of the orange orchards on the Plain of Argolis.
It’s largest building blocks are twenty metres thick and estimated to
weigh fourteen tonnes each! Pictured here are vaulted galleries
and massive walls - now ruins situated among the wild flowers.
