Citadel

Image of the citadel of Mycenae.  View looking north with the citadel bathed in sunlight in the center of the image.  Note the beginning of the mountains that tower over Mycenae to the north and especially the deep valley visible in the lower right (east) portion of the image.  This deep steep valley, and another like it on the other side of the citadel form part of the natural defenses of Mycenae.
