Browsing by style gathers buildings that look and read alike even when their architects and dates differ.

The earliest known example in the architectural sense-a large, organized complex serving political, economic, religious, and administrative functions-is the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, built by the Minoan civilization around 2000 BC, nearly 4,000 years ago.
