Ancient Mycenae the Treasure of Atreus

Exploring the area of "Golden Mycenae", as it was named in antiquity because of their great wealth, we are reaching the tomb that was once considered to belong to King Agamemnon. In fact, that is the tomb of Atreus and is known as "The Treasure of Atreus". The vaulted tombs were used for kings and their families.
The tomb is one of the most imposing burial monuments of all times and the most brilliant building of Mycenaean architecture during its heyday. Built between 1350 BC and 1250 BC, it consists of dromos (passage), stomion (entrance), tholos (vaulted chamber), and a small side chamber.
