What you'll see
A Mycenaean hilltop citadel just outside town, ringed by walls of boulders so big they look stacked by giants, with a vaulted stone gallery inside the wall.
A brief history
Ancient Greeks said the Cyclopes built its walls. It's listed by UNESCO together with Mycenae, and was a royal seat over 3,000 years ago.
