Mycenae
Located in Peloponnese, near the village of Mykines and Argos, Mycenae was the kingdom of King Agamemnon, which we know today through the tales of Homer. Once a major centre of Greek civilization, Mycenae was at its peak from 1600 BC to 1100 BC and counted a citadel as well as a lower town, altogether covering 30,000 square meters. A few important tombs have been discovered and excavated here, which include several treasures, such as the Mask of Agamemnon.
