Hagia Triada, Archaeological site in Messara Valley, Greece
The excavation area spans the northern slope of Saint George Galatas hill, featuring an L-shaped building complex with decorated rooms and storage facilities.
The site flourished during the Minoan period until 1450 BCE, when it experienced destruction along with other palace centers except for Knossos.
The archaeological findings include intricate frescoes, pottery designs, and artifacts that demonstrate connections to ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern civilizations through trade networks.
Located 3 kilometers west of Phaistos Palace, the archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours in multiple languages.
Two tholos tombs from the Proto-Minoan period and chamber tombs from the Late Minoan era constitute the cemetery section of the complex.
