The Minoans were an extremely civilized and technological society that had running water, a huge, labyrinthine city on the island of Crete, and a well-established trade business based on their powerful navy. The Minoans believed in the Mother Goddess. Considered to be the society that the tales of Atlantis, and the story of the Minotaur come from, the Minoans were thought to have been destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano on the island of Salamis. If their entire civilization wasn't destroyed at this point, it would have been easy for the Myceneans to enter their unwalled cities at this point (which were normally defended by their navy, which would have been destroyed by the huge tsunamis the volcano caused) and enslave the Minoans and destroy their society completely.
they used palaces for managing government and controlling the neighboring countryside.
they shared lives with religious people..... hahahahahaah not

Minoan frescoes appear on the walls of homes and palaces, not tombs.
typically it is accepted that Minoans lived in vast palaces, in Greek mythology the Minoans named for king Minos even had the great labyrinth built in his palace to imprison the great beast the minotaur. so i think it is safe to say that Minoan palaces were lavish and grand.
Some adjectives that could be used to describe Minoan civilization are organized, peaceful, artistic, mercantile, and knowledgeable

Lustral basins, found in Minoan archaeological sites, were likely used for purification rituals and bathing. Their presence suggests that cleanliness and hygiene were valued in Minoan society. Additionally, the centralized placement of lustral basins in palaces and sacred spaces indicates the importance of ritual and religious practices in Minoan culture.

the mycenaeans were influenced my the minoans culture because the mycenaeans built palaces on hilltops, just like the minoans did. the only difference is that the mycenaeans DID have walls built around their palaces but the minoans didn't. hope this helps!
There are many castles, but none would be described as being palaces.
