The Knossos Palace is the largest Bronze Age
archaeological site on Crete. It was probably the ceremonial and
political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. The ruins
at Knossos were discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos, a Cretan
merchant and antiquarian and is today one of the major tourist
attractions on Crete.
