 Palace of Knossos #8769 This is the most complete standing structure of the Palace of Knossos. |
 Palace of Knossos #8770 How much of this structure is original construction? Probably very little. Much is obviously modern. The gaudy colors are definitely not original.

 Palace of Knossos #8781 The murals at Knossos, of which there are several, at least seem to be original. |
 Palace of Knossos #8784 Here is another example of plastic roofing where thousands of people a day are directed like cattle to see. |
