The Grand Staircase of the Royal Apartments, Knossos
This staircase and the apartments are built into the side of the hill, which helped support them when they collapsed.
The staircase is a prime example of the Minoans sophisticated architecture. Four flights of stairs with landings between them can still clearly be seen, and scanty traces of the fifth flight are also preserved. The stairs are wide and shallow, allowing for an easy, graceful ascent.
