The Grand Staircase was the largest staircase in the Palace of Knossos (Crete) and has been described as one of the masterpieces of Minoan architecture. It consisted of two flights of stairs repeated on each floor and framed by a colonnade supporting the superstructure. The Grand Staircase was leading to the Royal Apartments. The two lower levels are original, while the two upper have been restored by Arthur Evans.
