Close up at the Horns of Consecration. Tourists visit the ancient Minoan Palace of Knossos archaeological site during a cloudy and rainy day near Heraklion, in Crete island, Greece on April 5, 2026. Visitors wander through the ruins of the Knosos and the archaeological site with the monumental Palace of Minos, the most important city of Minoan Crete civilization, continuously inhabited from the Neolithic period until the 5th century BC, a powerful political, economic, cultural and artistic hub. Knossos is widely considered Europe's oldest city and is famous for the legendary Throne Room, the Minotaur myth and the labyrinth, and its remarkable fresco paintings. The site was extensively excavated by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans in the early 20th century. In July 2025, UNESCO officially inscribed Knossos in the World Heritage Site list with five other Minoan Palatial Centres on Crete
