The Palace of Knossos was built by the Minoan civilization, specifically under the reign of King Minos. The palace is considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete and provides valuable insight into Minoan culture and civilization.
The maze (or labyrinth) was designed by Daedalus father of Icarus. It was built under the palace of Knossos ( pronounced 'cnossus') on the island of Crete.
