• The Palace of Knossos - Minos, King of Crete. The Palace of Knossos is steeped in captivating legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur, and the tale of Daidalos and Ikaros. Knossos, a complex of over 1500 interconnected rooms, was a remarkable palace built for a powerful king of the Bronze Age. As visitors explore the labyrinthine ruins, they can view the original throne of “Minos,” the intriguing sanctuaries, the opulent living quarters of the royal family, the once treasure-filled pantries of Crete, and the impressive water-management systems! Knossos is regarded as Europe’s oldest city. The first palace of Knossos was constructed shortly after 2000 BC. In 1700 BC, a devastating earthquake destroyed the Palace. A new palace was then promptly built, the most significant and monumental of all, and for over 300 years it served as the leading center of power in Bronze Age Crete.
