Phaistos was one of the most important centres of Minoan civilization and the most wealthy and powerful city in southern Crete.It was inhabited from the Neolithic period until the foundation and development of the Minoan palaces in the 15th century B.C.The Minoan city covered a considerable area around the palatial centre.After the destruction of the palace in the 15th century,the city continued to be inhabited in the Mycenaean and Geometric periods,that is,until the 8th century B.C.Although many inscriptions were found by the archaeologists,they are all in Linear A code which is still undeciphered, and all we know about the site,even its name are based to the ancient writers and findings from Knossos.According to mythology, Phaistos was the seat of king Radamanthis,brother of king Minos.It was also the city that gave birth to the great wise man and soothsayer Epimenidis,one of the seven wise men of the ancient world.Excavations by archaeologists have unearthed ruins of the Neolithic times(3.000 B.C).During the Minoan times,Phaistos was a very important city-state. Its dominion,at its peak,stretched from cape Lithinon to cape Psychion(Today cape Melissa at Agios Pavlos,South Rethymnon)and included the Paximadia islands.The city participated to the Trojan war and later became one of the most important cities-states of the Dorian period.Phaistos continued to flourish during Archaic,Classical and Hellenistic times.It was destroyed by the Gortynians during the 3rd century B.C.In spite of that, Phaistos continued to exist during the Roman period.Phaistos had two ports, Matala and Kommos.The Palace of Phaistos with its superb architectural composition and its almost perfect construction,is considered to be the finest and most typical of all Minoan palaces.The ruins of the old and new palace are preserved today,the former having been protected under a shed.
