Close to the village Chora (which means ''village'') is the famous Palace of King Nestor.
The palace of Nestoras was discovered in 1939. It is a piece of work dating back to the 13th century B.C. It consists of five main buildings which take up such a large area that it can only be compared, to the palaces of Mycaenae and Tiryntha.
The Palace of Nestor, on the Epano Englianos ridge was excavated from 1952 to 1966 by the late Professor Carl Blegen of the University of Cincinnati. The palace, dating from ca. 1300-1200 BC, is among the best preserved of Bronze Age complexes in Greece. In addition to architecture, excavations uncovered wall and floor frescos, Linear B tablets (the first ever discovered on the mainland!), sealings, jewelry, pottery and other artifacts.
