Knossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek ???s??), also known as Labyrinth, or Knossos Palace, is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and probably the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. The palace appears as a maze of workrooms, living spaces, and store rooms close to a central square. Detailed images of Cretan life in the late Bronze Age are provided by images on the walls of this palace. It is also a tourist destination today, as it is near the main city of Heraklion and has been substantially restored by archaeologist Arthur Evans. The city of Knossos remained important through the Classical and Roman periods, but its population shifted to the new town of Chandax (modern Heraklion) during the 9th century AD. By the 13th century, it was called Makryteikhos or 'Long Wall'; the bishops of Gortyn continued to call themselves Bishops of Knossos until the 19th century. Today, the name is used only for the archaeological site situated in the suburbs of Heraklion.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Knossos (ortografía alternativa Knossus, Cnossus, griego ???s??), también conocido como Laberinto o Palacio de Knossos, es el sitio arqueológico de la Edad del Bronce más grande de Creta y probablemente el centro ceremonial y político de la civilización y cultura minoica. El palacio aparece como un laberinto de salas de trabajo, espacios habitables y almacenes cerca de una plaza central. Las imágenes de las paredes de este palacio proporcionan imágenes detalladas de la vida cretense a finales de la Edad del Bronce. También es un destino turístico hoy en día, ya que está cerca de la ciudad principal de Heraklion y ha sido restaurado sustancialmente por el arqueólogo Arthur Evans. La ciudad de Knossos siguió siendo importante durante los períodos clásico y romano, pero su población se trasladó a la nueva ciudad de Chandax (la moderna Heraklion) durante el siglo IX d.C. En el siglo XIII, se llamaba Makryteikhos o "Muro Largo"; Los obispos de Gortyn continuaron llamándose obispos de Knossos hasta el siglo XIX. Hoy en día, el nombre se utiliza únicamente para el sitio arqueológico situado en las afueras de Heraklion.
