Mycenae, located in Argos, Greece, is one of the most significant archaeological sites of the ancient Greek civilization. It was a major center of Greek culture during the second millennium BCE, with its peak during the late Bronze Age. The site is renowned for its impressive architectural feats, including the famous Lion Gate, the Cyclopean walls, and the royal tholos tombs such as the Treasury of Atreus. Mycenae is also deeply connected to Greek mythology and epics, often associated with the legendary King Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks during the Trojan War.
