Mycenae
MYCENAE, GREECE - APRIL 13 : A general view of the Lion Gate on April 13, 2007 in Mycenae, Peloppenese, Greece. Mycenae, a hill top citadel, was the most important place in Greece from c. 1600 to c. 1100 BC. It was first completely excavated by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann between 1874 and 1878, but the Lion Gate, c. 1250 BC, seen throwing shadows in the afternoon sun, was excavated in 1841 by Kyriakos Pittakis. Two stone lionesses flank a column above the gateway which is set into massive stone walls. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
