They have the evacuation of several Minoan (named after the legendary King Minos) palaces, one of which is Knossós, 5 km south of the capital Iraklio, which is the palace where according to legend the minotaur was kept and from where Daedalus and his son Ikaros flew off. Daedalos is said to be the architect of the palace. Another famous excavated palace is located at the village of Phaestos, where the famous Phaestos Disc was found. The archeological museum in Iraklio displays many of the artifacts found in those excavations. There are hundreds of lesser know remnants of a distant past (5000 years) strewn all over the island.
