Ellinikon Pyramid

The Pyramid is located at Ellinikon, just a short drive from Tolo. It is the most important and best preserved pyramid in Greece.

The story surrounding the monument was that it was built as a common grave, for those soldiers who had fallen in the struggle for the throne of Argos back in the 14th Century B.C. The structure resembles a pyramid with the decorations of Argolic shields, showing the military connection

With the pyramids base stones remaining, it is possible to determine that Grecian pyramids existed, but were not used as the Egyptians used them.
