Knossos
Crete
The Palace of Knossos is located just south of modern-day Heraklion near the north coast of Crete.
Built by a civilization that we call the Minoans, it covers about 150,000 square feet (14,000 square meters),and was surrounded by a town in antiquity.
The site came to prominence in the early 20th century when it was excavated and restored by a team led by British archaeologist Arthur Evans.
