Knossos — North Entrance West Bastion

The story behind the place

Ancient remains and modern reconstruction meet at this famous part of Knossos. Arthur Evans reconstructed the west bastion of the north entrance, adding a copy of a restored bull relief. Look for the red columns, black capitals and brightly coloured panel behind them. The scene offers a vivid impression of the palace while also showing how later interpretation shapes what visitors see.
