In the street to Pollonia you will left find in the you discoveries of ancient city of Fylakopis, which are from the more important settlements of Cycladic culture and the more important city of prehistoric Aegean.
In this are saved relic of 2 millenia. Exist traces of living from the start her Precocious season of Coper (roughly 3000 B.C.) up to the end of Later season (1100 B.C.). Built in the northern department of island, in order to gives possibility of monitoring of to a great extent her sea, Fylakopi became big commercial and cultural center. Thanks to the marketing of precious Stone, it was developed rapidly, it acquired force, it erected cyclopean walls for the intruders and was destroyed and redevelped three times.
The settlement began to be lived already from 3000 p. x., while was abandoned in 1100 B.C. having covers three historical periods. In pre-built-up season (3200 B.C. - 2300 B.C.) began the construction of houses. In the 1st historical period (2300-2000 eg) the settlement of is roughly 200 meters (big for the data of that season in Aegean), does not allocate organized street-plan provision, but presents a relatively organized cemetery. At the same time, that period is revealed the use of Stone and are multiplied the exports, with result the complete commercial blossoming of Apple trees. In 2nd period (2000-1600 eg) are built walls for precaution from by any chance raids, the graves henceforth are outside from the walls, while the houses are found in graduated provision on the hill. In this period developed particularly the ceramic art with explicit henceforth Minoikes influences and was developed further the commercial relations of Apple trees with various regions of Greece and mainly with Crete. This period finishes with the destruction of Fylakopis, very probably from fire of invaders, while with construction of third settlement, begins the 3rd historical period of city (1600 B.C. - 1110 p. x.). At the duration of this last period Fylakopi presents organized, complex street-plan drawing, fortification with tally cyclopean walls of thickness of beyond 6 meters and certain bigger houses, from which also two-storied. In the beginning of this period the effect of minoikoy culture was intense (found themselves departments of plate with Minoiki Linear A), but slowly-slowly penetrates, and in the end predominates, the [mykinaiko] element. Roughly in 1400 is built a palace [Mykinaikoy] of type with a lot of rooms and one of holy two rooms. Also is produced work high sculptural and ceramic art, with more important sample the “Dame of Fylakopis” (You can you see him in the Archaeological Museum Milos). From 1200 B.C. in Aegean become reorganizations, known commercial streets are abandoned, while Minoikos and Mykinaikos culture have slacked. That period the city of Fylakopis stops it constitutes commercial center and it begins falling, while the commercial center and the activity of island is transported in the ancient city of Climate.
Today the bigger part of city is found under the surface of sea, but deserves you are visited him in order to you admire that it is saved by the imposing cyclopean wall of settlement (which are manufactured from volcano Stones), Holy, as well as the Palace of settlement. Up to also is today saved crowd of discoveries that implies the activities of residents of settlement and the dense network of contacts, mainly with remainder Cyclades and Crete, while with your visit in the Archaeological Museum you can find admirable samples of ceramic art from the city of Fylakopis, as earthen vessels, stone, earthen and cupreous figurines, plate of Linear [A]΄, varied utilitarian objects and the eminent “Dame of Fylakopis”.
