Pyramid of Dalamanara

37.5800°N, 22.7000°E.

The Pyramid of Dalamanara in the Argolid region of the Peloponnese, southern Greece — a small dressed-stone pyramid forming part of the Argolid pyramid cluster, conventionally dated by mainstream Greek archaeology to the Classical period (approximately fourth century BCE). Original base approximately 11 metres per side; original height around 7 metres in a sloping square structure of polygonal limestone blocks fitted without mortar. Excavated in part by the Greek Archaeological Service in the early twentieth century. Dalamanara is one of the smaller and more poorly preserved of the Argolid pyramids; the upper courses have been almost entirely robbed for building stone in the modern village immediately downhill. The structure sits within sight of the Hellinikon Pyramid 8 kilometres west and the Ligourio Pyramid 12 kilometres east, supporting the interpretation of the Argolid pyramids as a coordinated visual signalling network on the road system between Argos and Tegea.
