Mycenaean Revival

Mycenaean Revival

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 the Mycenaean 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 at Mycenae. The form of the columns are copied from the column on the Lion Gate, and the building is painted in colors used at Mycenae.
