The largest Mycenaean tholos, sober and simple, but no less impressive because of that! This dome tomb from the 13th century BC. is known as the Treasury of Atreus or the Tomb of Agamemnon, but this is the result of Heinrich Schliemann's misinterpretation of a text by Pausianus. With a diameter of 14.5m and a height of 13.5m, this dome tomb has had the largest (known) dome in the world for over a thousand years. If you walk "into" the hill in which the tomb is built, via the 36 meter long dromos (access road), you will arrive at the gate which is crowned by a 120-ton lintel and the characteristic triangular relief arch. Once inside, one finds oneself in a now empty and bare crypt, but in its heyday the walls of the dromos and tholos were richly decorated with v-patterns, spiral motifs and rosettes. The dome itself was covered with metal on the inside to represent the sky. Although no legendary king found his final resting place here, this tholos is one of the most impressive monuments surviving from the Mycenaean period due to its monumental size and grandeur and well worth a visit!
