GreeceHagia Photia is an archaeological site of a fortified ancient Minoan building on eastern Crete [1]. The building at Hagia Photia has 37 rooms that open onto a central court, but which do not necessarily connect to adjoining rooms [1]. Other fortified Minoan settlements are from the Pre-Palatial period, but Hagia Photia is of the Old Palatial period [1]. Finds excavated from Hagia Photia are at the Archaeological Museum of Sitia and the Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Museum [1].
