The Acropolis lay over the city, which unfortunately, like the city, has hardly been preserved. People settled around the Acropolis, this was the living area. Working life was located below the living area. Here were both the market and the workshops where precious ceramics were made. In ancient times, Kameiros was a leader in this field.
