One of the three main Mycenaean centers in the Argolid alongside Mycenae and Tiryns, situated on a 270-meter conical hill [1] [2] [3]. Its massive cyclopean wall extends 450 meters in length, stands 5-7 meters wide, and survives up to 7 meters high in places [1] [2] [4]. The rich necropolis at neighboring Dendra further attests to its significance [5].
