Palace of Knossos |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The ancient city of Knossos was a center of the Minoan civilization, an advanced society on Crete named after Minos, a legendary Cretan king. Skilled in such fields as engineering and architecture, the Minoans constructed the palace at Knossos in 1700 bc. A serious fire at least three centuries later caused the collapse of the palace and foreshadowed the subsequent decline of the city. | ||||||
