The 1,800-square-meter Bronze Age structure was found at the top of Papoura Hill, northwest of the town of Kastelli, and was unearthed during excavation works for a major airport project.
The labyrinthine structure consists of eight concentric rings of stone, 1.4 meters thick on average, with some still standing at heights of up to 1.7 meters.But it's unclear whether the circular structure on Papoura Hill would qualify as a peak sanctuary – aside from its hilltop location, it's unlike any other Minoan structure found to date.
Remnants of pottery from the Neopalatial period lead archeologists to think the site may have continued to be used well into the Middle Minoan.
