File:View of the Tomb of Agamemnon and the Argolic plain from the top of the citadel of Mycenae on 26 March 2019.jpg

English: Temple of historical times on the hilltop The citadel of Mycenae was not deserted after the destruction of the Mycenaean palace. Continuity of habitation at the site is confirmed by large quantities of pottery, several graves and a few buildings. Remains of a Geometric settlement (9th-8th cent. B.C.) were revealed in the palace court, while the existence of a Geometric sanctuary a little to the north is conjectured. During the Archaic period (last quarter of 7th century B.C.), a temple with a rectangular cella was erected on top of the hill. The finds from here include unique reliefs, outstanding among which is the head of a female figure, in mature Daedalic style. The later Hellenistic temple was built upon the foundations of the Archaic one in the early 3rd century B.C., keeping the plain design of its predecessor. An altar was possibly built further south, on a lower terrace. Only scant architectural remains of the Hellenistic temple have survived. Athena or Hera was the goddess worshipped in both temples.
