Treasury of Atreus


dromos


am always enchanted by these plants growing on major archaeological monuments


post and lintel system, relieving triangle, clamps to hold the columns in place, saw marks...


attempts to get a photo of the entrance from the interior were stymied by the group of Italian nuns.
