Palace of Nestor
The Palace of Nestor is the central building of a Middle Helladic era settlement surrounded by a fortified wall. The palace was a two-storey building with store rooms, workshops, baths, light wells, reception rooms and a sewage system. The site is the most well preserved Mycenaean Greek palace discovered.

The palace complex was destroyed by fire around 1200 BC.
