Labyrinths are an exciting, beautiful, and challenging decoration of e.g. squares and places with pavement of flagstones.

The most mysterious classical labyrinth is the legendary labyrinth which king Minos had built in Crete.

There are many labyrinths (visit link) and mazes in the world, and a lot more are found in books and computer games.

We shall analyse and further generate only the 3 classic labyrinths that follow a set of historic rules in artistic harmony: Roma-Piadena (visit link) from approximately the year 0, Troja (visit link) from the year 1200 BC, and Chartres (visit link) from the year AD 1200.
