Palaces

Mycenaean cities were ruled by Kings that lived in Palaces. They usually feature:

• Megaron (room with an entrance porch, front room, hearth, and vestibule)

  • the hearth was a circular stone area where a fire would be lit for cooking and religious purposes

  • place for the King’s throne

  • place for feasts and poetry reciting

• Colonnades

• Shrines

• Rooms for official documents

• Storerooms (contain food)

• Armouries

However there’s not much information because of the very limited evidence that’s salvageable
