High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The "Palace" at Galatas is a Minoan archaeological site discovered discovered and excavated in the early 1990s. The site is located on the island of Crete 30 kilometres south of Heraklion, near the villages of Galatás and Arkalochori. From the site there are fine views towards southern Crete. Excavations began in 1992 and in 1997 the archaeologist responsible for the excavations, George Rethemiotakis, announced that a new Minoan Palace had been found in the middle of a Minoan town. Due to the recency of the excavation, the findings have not been fully written up yet. The large, paved central courtyard of the palace runs north-south and measures 16 metres by 32 metres. It was originally surrounded by a four-wing building. Of the four wings, the east wing is the best preserved, while the west and south wings are very poorly preserved. The north wing is still waiting to be excavated apart from a small stoa bordering onto the court. The north end of the central court has a face of ashlars and some 50 blocks have masons' marks on them. All the original frescoes have unfortunately been lost.
