Superb archaeological site protected by UNESCO. The ruins of Mycenae include the grandiose fortifications called cyclopean walls (which reach 6-8 m in thickness), in which the monumental north-west passage opens the famous Porta dei Leoni.
Beyond the Porta dei Leoni on the right is the Granaio building in use until the destruction of the acropolis. Immediately after the Barn stands the Funeral Club A with 6 royal tombs, from which various objects were found such as: gold masks, bronze swords with gold and ivory handles, daggers decorated in gold, vases and gold jewelery transferred to mostly at the archaeological museum of Athens.
In addition to the ruins of the Royal Palace, the funerary remains are extraordinary, such as the tomb of Agamemnon, the tomb of Clytemnestra, and that of Egisto.
The tomb of Agamemnon also called the treasure of Atreus is located a short distance away and represents a site in its own right. Remarkable the unique museum among the many that I visited in Greece where they have available (among other things free) a reader with headphones to have in-depth explanations regarding the finds.
