ANCIENT STONE - WINE PRESSES IN MAGKANA

In the position "Magkana", on a hill nearby and immediately NORTH of the monastery of Paliani in Venerato exists today series of carvings onto natural rock, whose construction refers to install wine presses.

There are small carve wells and pipelines, while a larger rectangular area saves even sections toichodomias. It seems therefore that was covered and the whole installation was hewn combination and construction ktistis. The wine presses, which meet in the Cretan countryside are many, but the US is difficult, since the same construction can be used in more than one period.
