Queens hall

Queens Hall

The Queens hall is similar to the one in Knossos and includes a large bath (Lustral Basin) off the room.

This room had tablets with Linear A as well as some with hieroglyphic script.

Main Hall and Covered Porch of the Royal Apartments

The Royal Apartments were located in the southwest of the North Court. The large reception hall facing north, had a covered porch on its north side. The east and south sides had pier-door partitions to lightwells and the west side allowed entry to the Queens Megaron and Lustral Bath.

Storerooms

Archaeologists have placed roofing over the Storerooms in order to protect the mud-brick construction. These Storerooms on the east side of the Central Court are more elaborate then in other Minoan palaces. Grain and olive oil were stored here and facilities included raised shelves with drainage spouts and channels in the floor for spillage collection.
