The first inhabitants settled here in the Early Minoan III period (2300 B.C.). Remains of the Middle Minoan period (2000-1600 B.C.) are also preserved. The palace was built at the end of this period but was destroyed along with the surrounding city in around 1450 B.C., at the same time as the other Minoan centers. Fifty years later the site was “reoccupied” for a certain period. The settlement was finally abandoned in around 1200 b.c.
