Gla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the acronym, see GLA.

Gla was a fortified site of the Mycenaen civilization, in Greece. It was built on a piece of limestone sticking out of lake Kopais, near Orchomenos. It is surrounded by large walls an appears to have had a garrison. Much of the area within the walls is vacant, leading archaeologists to believe it served as a refuge for the farmers of Kopais, in which there is evidence of a large Mycenaean era drainage system, in the event it was attacked.
