| The earliest evidence of habitation at Knossos, on the Greek island of Crete, goes back to the Neolithic Period (7000-3000 BC). At its height, during the New Palace Period (1700-1450 BC) Knossos was the most powerful city in Crete, boasting a monumental administrative and religious central building and a town of 5000-8000 inhabitants. The most important structure at Knossos is the Great Palace, which covered an area of 20,000 square kilometres and contained 1,400 rooms. | ||||||||
