Argolida Sights & Monuments - Ancient Lerna, situated on the west side of the Gulf of Argolida and located in the contemporary village of Myloi, is a prehistoric site of great significance in the Peloponnese. This historic location, in use from the Neolithic to the Mycenean period (6th–1st millennium BC) for over 5000 years, boasts excavated houses from the Early and Middle Neolithic periods (Lerna I and II: 6th–5th millennium BC). Though today only a Middle Neolithic house is visible, the site was once fortified during the Early Bronze Age (from ca. 2500 B.C.) and thrived. One of its most notable structures was the "House of Tiles," a large, rectangular building named for the numerous clay roof tiles found among its debris during excavation. During this period, lumps of clay bearing seal impressions were also discovered in one of the building's rooms.
