As one of the earliest large relief structures on the Greek mainland, the Lion Gate holds immense historical significance. It serves as a symbol of power and strength, with its depiction of two lions standing guard at the entrance to this ancient citadel. The detailed carving work on these massive blocks is a true marvel to behold.
