According to Wikipedia, in the second millennium BC Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae.
The city of Mycenae was built for royals at the top of a hill, for protection. Craftsmen and other workers lived outside the walls. You can see that they had plenty of stone to work with.
