Mycenaean Revival is probably the most exclusive of all historicist or revival architectural styles; there appears to be only one Mycenaean revival building in the world.The building of the National Bank of Greece in
Nafplio , near the heart of theMycenaean civilization is built in Mycenaean Revival, or neo-Myceneean style. [Greece At Its Most Greek , by Phyllis rose, Sept. 10, 2000, New York Times. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0DE0D91631F933A2575AC0A9669C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=4 ] ] It was constructed in 1930, the architect was Zouboulidis. [ [www.nafplio-tour.gr/index.asp?lang=en&text=plat_syntagma] ] The door of the bank is an evocation of the form of the Lion Gate and Tomb of Clytemnestra atMycenae . The form of the columns are copied from the column on the Lion Gate, and the building is painted in colors used at Mycenae.
