Description

The remains of Midea, a Bronze Age citadel, stand above the village of the same name in the Argolid. The citadel is one of the largest and best preserved Mycenaean citadels. A tholos tomb and cemetery of chamber tombs at nearby Dendra is associated with the site. Midea was destroyed by Argos, probably at the same time as Tiryns, soon after the Greco-Persian Wars.
