From the Mycenaean stronghold in Midea (2)
Europe, Greece, Peleponessos, Argolida, Midea, Tree, Cyclopian walls (uncut)
The Bronze age Mycenaean chieftains certainly knew what they were doing when they build their citadel. It's built on top of a conical hill at an altitude of 270m, and 170m from the surrounding area. This one is captured within the (cyclopic) walls of the citadel. The citadel is located in the middle of the axis between Mycenae and Tiryns and dominates the eastern edge of Argolida valley.
This strategic location with its panoramic views enable control of the entire valley and the Argolida bay.
Midea is considered the third most important fortified Mycenaean Acropolis of Argolis, after aforementioned Mycenae and Tiryns.
