Kershaw's European Vacation
The Palace of Knossos was our main place to visit today. I learned about this palace in High School and have always wanted to visit. The site is quite large and a great deal of it is reconstructed, mainly by the archaeologist , Evans. Unfortunately he used a lot of concrete in his reconstructions , which is not in keeping with today's practices. There are only a few reproductions of the amazing friezes that were found here. The originals are now in the Heraklion Museum, which unfortunately we did not get to see. It was still fantastic to see the Knossos site.
