Abstract
It is possible to determine similarities in some
parameters such as space, topography and plan for prehistoric monumental masses of Greece and to evaluate the
areas and structures in detailed sets. The spaces of these
sets are the central and productive masses in the settlements as Sesklo, Dimini and Nea Nikomedeia in the Thessaly region of northern Greece. However, a structure in the
Magoula Visviki was founded in the same area with approximately the same dating. Plan typology of this structure and the production of the meaning of this typology
can make it a primitive example of an another set form. In
important archaeological sites such as Sesklo, Dimini and
Nea Nikomedeia, we encounter the megarons who monumental and central masses of Neolithic Greece. Magoula
Visviki belongs to almost the same periods, it shows a
completely rectangular plan type and multiple entry arrangement at the expense of a rather radical separation
from the basic set. After a long period, Magoula Visviki has
some common features in though different parameters
with some monumental religious structures such as the
Late Archaic Period, the Classical Period in Greece. However, Magoula Visviki has great similarities as monumentalism, multiple entrance and more than one hall, with
examples such as in Early Hellas Period at Lerna, Lefkandi
Heroon and Nikhoria in Protogeometric Period. In this
paper, the architectural fiction, continuity and interaction
phenomena are discussed with the differences and similarities of the monumental structures spread over a long
between prehistoric and historical period.
