In the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2100-1900 BC), the appearance of metal and, above all, the use of seals show the progress of technical and political organisation. The First Palace was built in the Middle Bronze Age, the remains of which are too limited to allow a precise reconstruction: the architecture of the time is better represented in Phaistos and especially in Malia. However, this level also yielded luxury objects (gold, ivory) and a particularly fine ceramic with very colourful decoration, the Camares ceramic.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_10439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10439\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10439\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/knossos-palais-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"Knossos Palace, reconstitution\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-srcset=\"\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Knossos Palace, reconstitution<\/figcaption><\/figure><p class=\"body\">The first palaces disappeared, all over Crete, around 1750 BC, for reasons that remain unknown. After a period of stagnation, they were rebuilt according to a canonical plan: the central courtyard had an important religious function, serving as an arena for the famous bullfighting games known from several frescoes; the shops received oil, grain and other products owed by the peasants; rooms in the basement housed the sacred snakes; and finally ceremonial rooms, including the throne room, and flats for Minos and his family. The whole complex extends over several hectares and sometimes over five floors.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_10443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10443\" style=\"width: 133px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10443\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/knossos-parisienne.jpg\" alt=\"Knossos, &quot;la parisienne&quot;\" width=\"133\" height=\"250\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">La parisienne<\/figcaption><\/figure><p class=\"body\">The complex extends over several hectares, sometimes five storeys high.<\/p><p class=\"body\">The reconstructions in reinforced concrete have given rise to much controversy (architectural or historical details, in particular the exact role of Minos, the priest-king), and Evans has sometimes abused anachronistic models in his depiction of the Minoan monarchy. At least his work has preserved a very fragile architecture, mostly in mudbrick, gypsum and wood, with frescoes and stucco decoration, at the time of its heyday (1500 and 1450 BC), when the palace was occupied by an Achaean dynasty that used Mycenaean Greek (see our page \"\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/crete-grece-greece\/crete-to-visit\/museum-heraklion-knossos\/\">Top 10 Cr\u00e8te<\/a>\")<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1078871 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1078871\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9aa4eb1\" data-id=\"9aa4eb1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8671d85 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8671d85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2dfbfd7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2dfbfd7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6477925\" data-id=\"6477925\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eb7b95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9eb7b95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Rent a car in <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/rent-car-greece-2\/\">Greece<\/a><\/b>: <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/crete\/\">Crete<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/crete\/heraklion\/\">Heraklion<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/crete\/chania\/\">Chania<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/crete\/rethymnon-crete\/\">Rethymnon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha-omegaonline.fr\/en\/rent-a-car-greece\/crete\/agios-nikolaos\/\">Agios Nikolaos<\/a>) &#8211;
