Minoan peak sanctuaries

Minoan peak sanctuaries are widespread throughout the island of Crete (Greece).

Most scholars agree that peak sanctuaries were used for religious rites high in the mountains of Crete.

Human and animal figurines, as well as signs of religious architecture, have been found at most peak sanctuaries.

Many of the sanctuaries fell out of use during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland became the dominant culture on the island.

This section is for peak sanctuaries mentioned in passing in articles where more research is needed before categorizing them.
