In this paper, we investigate the features of a wooden structure inserted within the cut sandstone walls erected at the beginning of the Neopalatial period around the North Court of the Palace at Malia. This analysis reflects the close association between the wooden doorjambs that framed the accesses towards the rooms surrounding the court, the wooden structure integrated within the walls, and elements related to the roofing of the court’s portico. The structural unity of the North Court is further enhanced by the unity of its architectural style, and by the originality of its masonry in regard with those used in other areas of the Malia palace. The features of the walls that surround the portico of the North Court thus reflect the care taken by the masons in creating a harmonious and structurally efficient architectural unit. They also recall building practices not unsimilar to those that shaped some of the walls of the palace at Knossos and may suggest the same builders worked in the two palaces.
