GREECE PELOPONNESE ARGOLIS TIRYNS ACROPOLIS

Above: More of the Cyclopean walls of the Upper Citadel and the corbelled apertures of the "galleries" built into the walls of Tiryns - a very fine specimen of Mycenaean architecture.

Above: The main pathway leading into and out of the citadel. - Below: Outer fortification walls with a corbel-vaulted chamber near the main gate.

Above and below: One of the gates in the entrance system to the citadel. This first inner gate is only preserved in its lower part, but otherwise its construction reflects the famous Lion Gate in Mycenae. The bolt hole is still visible in one of the posts of this gate.

Below: The first inner gate seen from inside and the opening of the main gate in the outer fortification wall.
