The Archaeological Sites of Mycenae and Tiryns, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcase the impressive remnants of two major centers of the Mycenaean civilization, flourishing from the 15th to 12th century BCE. These sites feature monumental cyclopean walls, elaborate palaces, and well-preserved tombs, reflecting the architectural and cultural achievements of this ancient Greek society. Excavations have uncovered artifacts like the famous Lion Gate and gold masks, offering insights into the wealth and power of Mycenaean rulers.
