Lion Gate

description Lion Gate Overview

The Lion Gate is a monumental stone structure serving as the primary entrance to the ancient citadel of Mycenae in Greece. Constructed around 1250 BC during the Mycenaean period, it’s notable for featuring the largest surviving sculpture from that era – two lionesses facing each other.
