The Minoan settlement on the island dates back to 1450 from ruins which have been found on the Seragia hill (today’s old town). The dead city which was found in the South Western part of the city also belongs to the same period. The settlement of the 7th and 6th century BC took up the largest area of the shrinking geometrical settlement.
The Minoan findings show that the settlements were made over the ruins of ancient settlements.
