General description of the location
The buildings of the northern quarter at the Acropolis of Mycenae occupy an area of 800 m.2, bounded by the straight, internally cyclopean and externally pseudoashlar section of the fortification wall, above and to the 1eft of the Lion Gate, on the west, by the curving section of the fortification wall on the north, and on the east by a substantial wall, which separates this area from the area to the east, proceeds obliquely in a southwesterly-northeasterly direction, and terminates at the curving section of the fortification wall. To the east lies the long trapezoidal building, Building I, fitting tightly in the space between Building N and the boundary wall. The various rooms belonging to Building I, were arranged within a long trapezoidal area, ca 200 m2, between Building N and the great boundary wall to the east. Building I consists of two successive rooms, I 1 and Ι 2, from south to north, as well as a spacious backyard to their north, area I 3 .
