The palace of Knossos, in Crete, Greece, is famous for the legend that King Minos locked the Minotaur, a bull-headed creature, in the labyrinth. Today the ruins are quite well preserved, the first two images are related to the structure of the bull, the third is the throne room while the last depicts the fresco of the dolphins. I visited this site in August 2008

Yeah a very good preservation really... so exciting being there as in ancient times and so interesting hearing about all that mythology!
The legend of the Minotaur fascinated me as a teenager and I was looking forward to visiting this site
It's great to visit those places that we heard first many times or they attracted to us specially, it's a dream that came true, congrats!
What a wonderful place to visit have the Murals been restored or are they still original shape.
They have been restored, the originals were very damaged. They did a good job
