The Palace of Knossos
The Minoan Palace at Knossos is arguably the most instructive Neolithic and Bronze-Age site in the Aegean/ Eastern Mediterranean (7000-1000 BC). The reconstructed remains give you a chance to experience the labyrinthine architecture of the Minoans as no other site can, and provide a wonderful backdrop to many vignettes to help appreciate the Minoan culture. What went on in a Palace? Were their ladies the mainstay of their society? What sort of health did they enjoy? How did they organize the production of their sort-after textiles? What names were their oxen called?
A myriad aspects – great and small – can be thus explored: enough to satisfy anyone’s curiosity. And yet .. we still cannot answer: what made them click?
Come and see what you think: take a tour round this grand and enigmatic structure.
