Knossos It is the most important Minoan palace and is located just a few kilometers outside the city of Heraklion. It was multi-storey and covered an area of 20,000 square metres. The variety of building materials, the coloured mortars and the frescoes decorating rooms and corridors are impressive. The high technical knowledge of the Minoans is confirmed by original architectural and construction inventions, such as the skylights and polygons, the use of beams to reinforce the masonry, and the complex sewage and water supply system.

The archaeological site of Knossos (Knosós GR: Κνωσός) is sited 5 km southeast of the city of Iraklion. There is evidence that this location was inhabited during the neolithic times (6000 B.C.) . On the ruins of the neolithic settlement was built the first Minoan palace (1900 B.C.) where the dynasty of Minos ruled. This was destroyed in 1700 B.C and a new palace built in its place. The palace covered an area of 22,000sq.m, it was multi- storeyed and had an intricate plan. Due to this fact the Palace is connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur.
