Detailed explanation-1: -The Palace of Knossos is located just south of modern-day Heraklion near the north coast of Crete. Built by a civilization that we call the Minoans, it covers about 150, 000 square feet (14, 000 square meters), the size of more than two football fields, and was surrounded by a town in antiquity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apart from its construction and architecture, the Minoan Palace of Knossos is most famous for its connection to Greek mythology. Namely, the tale of the Labyrinth and the Minotaur and the one of Daedalus and Icarus.
