Bull Fresco
Entering the Central Court from the north, you will pass the relief Bull Fresco, which depicts a charging bull. Relief frescoes were made by moulding wet plaster and then painting it while it was still wet. Once you have reached the Central Court, which in Minoan times was surrounded by the high walls of the palace, you can begin exploring the most important rooms of the complex.

Corridor of the Procession Fresco
The usual entrance to the palace complex is across the Western Court and along the Corridor of the Procession Fresco. The fresco depicted a long line of people carrying gifts to present to the king; only fragments remain. A copy of one of these fragments, called the Priest King Fresco, can be seen to the south of the Central Court.
