The North Entrance 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. It is noted for its use of luxury materials, complex 'labyrinthine' architectural plan, advanced building techniques (including measures against earthquake damage and drainage that still works) and impressive size. These are remains of the second palace on the site, which lasted from about 1700 to 1350 BCE.
The 'North Propylaeum' is the North Entrance to the Palace and it is located at the end of the road from the harbour.
