This is the most famous spot of Mycenae. The entrance gate to the ancient town of Mycenae has two lions on top of it.
Located in a walking distance from the ancient site, the Treasury of Atreus is actually a vaulted tomb. When it was discovered, it has already been looted centuries ago. Archaeologists believe that this was the tomb of Agamemnon, the famous king of Mycenae, and that a golden treasury has been buried inside with the king.
The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae has two floors with exhibits from excavations in the site. It is located in close distance to the Lion Gate.
Due to their huge size, the myth says that the walls of Mycenae were constructed by Cyclops, some giagantic creatures with one eye. This is why they named these walls Cyclopean.
