The Royal Road at Knossos Palace

The Royal Road at Knossos Palace
This is one of the oldest and best preserved ancient roads in Europe. It originally ran from the sea, through the town, to the Palace.
The Knossos Palace remains are sited just south of modern day Heraklion in Crete. It was the centre of the Minoan civilisation and in mythology was the residence of King Minos. These are remains of the second palace on the site, which lasted from about 1700 to 1350 BCE.
