In a location of outstanding natural beauty, on the banks of the Geropotamos river, lies a major monument of Minoan architecture: the royal villa or “little” Minoan palace of Agia Triada.
Built on a hill around 1600 BC, it is believed to have served as the summer residence of the king of Phaistos and was decorated with impressive murals, the fragments of which outnumber the total amount of fragments found in the rest of Minoan Crete.
