Minoan Settlement of Kastelli



At Kastelli Pediada, we encounter remnants of a settlement that thrived during the Minoan Era and was established since the Neolithic Period. The settlement had grown around a central two-storey structure of considerable size, the architectural remains of which can be seen today in the square of Saint George. The town was destroyed around 220 BC, possibly following the raid of Knossos. In the same location, there are remains from the fortress of Kastelli and an ancient cistern.
