Small entrance ramp at Knossos 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.
This ramp lies at the end of the road from the sea. Its narrowness is believed to be for security reasons. The rest of the site does not suggest that smallness was important to Minoan architects.
