Lion Gate
About
The Lion Gate ( Greek : Πύλη των Λεόντων ) was the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae , southern Greece . It was erected during the 13th century BC, around 1250 BC, in the northwest side of the acropolis and is named after the relief sculpture of two lionesses or lions in a heraldic pose that stands above the entrance.
