6. Citadel and Treasury of Atreus

   The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb is a large tholos constructed during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The lintel stone above the doorway weighs 120 tons, with approximate dimensions 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.2m the largest in the world. The tomb was used for an unknown period. Mentioned by Pausanias, it was still visible in 1879 when the German amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the 'agora' in the Acropolis at Mycenae. The tomb has probably no relationship with either Atreus or Agamemnon, as archaeologists believe that the sovereign buried there ruled at an earlier date than the two, but it was named thus by Heinrich Schliemann. The grave is in the style of the other tholoi of Mycenaean Greece, of which there are nine in total around. However, in its monumental shape and grandeur it is one of the most impressive monuments surviving from the Mycenaean period. Combined Ticket ( Tomb & Site/ museum): Winter 6€ /Summer 12€. Under 6 y. free / Over 65 y. reduced
