Built by a civilization that we call the Minoans, it covers about 150,000 square feet (14,000 square meters) Despite the fact that the palace was excavated a century ago there are still many questions that researchers have about the palace and the people who lived in it. The Palace of Knossos is the most important archaeological site on the island. The legendary king of Knossos was Minos, son of Zeus and Europa. The palace is the labyrinth of Greek Mythology.
