Tyrins, #Greece.
Tiryns (Τίρυνς) is a Mycenaean archaeological site in the Argolis region of the Peloponnese.

It was originally a hilltop fortress, abandoned 7000 years before the beginning of the Bronze Age. It reached its peak between 1400 and 1200 BC, when it became one of the most important centers of the Mycenaean world.

Its most notable features were its palace, its cyclopean tunnels, and especially its cyclopean walls, which gave the city its Homeric epithet "strong-walled Tiryns". It was associated with the myths surrounding Heracles (Hercules), as the city was the hero's residence during his labors, and some sources mention it as his birthplace.
