What the storerooms reveal about Knossos
At the West Porch, the broad approach from the courtyard narrows to an entrance that controlled who could enter the palace. Follow the audio along the Processional Causeway, then look for the long rooms of the West Magazines. Their great storage jars give a sense of how much produce passed through this Minoan center.
Use the map as you move from the Central Court toward the eastern wing. Listen at the Grand Staircase before looking toward the living quarters, then pick up the story of palace storage again at the Magazine of the Giant Pithoi. The route finishes in the Theatral Area, with the North Entrance and its old harbor road along the way.
