Tiryns Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Tirins is an important site of the Mycenaean civilization in Greece, located in the present-day state of Argolis, not far from the Aegean Sea. The city, famous in Homer's epics but once thought to be just a myth, was rediscovered by the legendary German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century. In Greek mythology, Tirians was the place where Hercules set off to accomplish his famous twelve feats. It began to be inhabited in the late Neolithic Age, and gradually prospered in the Bronze Age. In the late Bronze Age, a palace was built, which is one of the well-preserved relics in the Greek interior. The city is known for its solid walls, and Homer gave it the title "mightywalled". It gradually declined in the late Mycenaean civilization and was wiped out by Argos in 468 BC. In 1999 it was selected as a World Heritage Site.

This is the world heritage site left by the Mycenae civilization, the relatively complete contours of the stones are preserved, and the grandeur and grandeur of the past can be imagined from these magnificent structures, which is great!
This is a monument excavated by a German archaeologist.
Beautiful classical city in Homer's epic, full of mystery
