The oldest road in Europe is located on the island of Crete and is a remarkable engineering masterpiece from over 3,500 years ago. This Minoan road stretches for about 50 kilometres, connecting the ancient city of Knossos with Gortina and Lebena. What makes this road extraordinary is its advanced construction. It has lateral canals to manage water runoff, which helped to preserve it for millennia. The road bed consists of a floor of 20-centimetre thick sandstone blocks, tightly interlocked and bound with a strong mortar of clay and gypsum. Above this foundation, a layer of basalt slabs was laid to provide a smooth and resistant surface. The inclusion of separate shoulders, a rare feature at the time, demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of road design, ensuring safe and efficient travel.

La carretera más antigua de Europa se encuentra en la isla de Creta y es una notable obra maestra de ingeniería de hace más de 3.500 años. Esta calzada minoica se extiende a lo largo de unos 50 kilómetros y conecta la antigua ciudad de Cnosos con Gortina y Lebena. Lo que hace extraordinaria a esta calzada es su avanzada construcción. Cuenta con canales laterales para gestionar la escorrentía del agua, lo que ayudó a preservarla durante milenios. El lecho de la calzada consiste en un suelo de bloques de arenisca de 20 centímetros de grosor, fuertemente entrelazados y unidos con un fuerte mortero de arcilla y yeso. Sobre esta base se colocó una capa de losas de basalto para proporcionar una superficie lisa y resistente. La inclusión de arcenes separados, una característica poco común en la época, demuestra una sofisticada comprensión del diseño de carreteras, garantizando un viaje seguro y eficiente.

Il letto stradale è composto da un pavimento di blocchi di arenaria di 20 centimetri di spessore, strettamente incastrati e legati con un resistente malta di argilla e gesso. Sopra questa fondazione, fu posato uno strato di lastre di basalto per fornire una superficie liscia e resistente. L'inclusione di spalle separate, una caratteristica rara per l'epoca, dimostra una comprensione sofisticata del design stradale, garantendo viaggi sicuri ed efficienti.
