A processional walkway is a ceremonial walkway in use since ancient times. Common functions of a processional walkway are for religious, governmental or celebratory purposes. Early examples of this type of pedestrian travel way can be found in Egypt, Babylon〔Barbara N. Porter, ''Images, Power, and Politics: Figurative Aspects of Esarhaddon's Babylonia'', 1993, Diane Publishing ISBN 978-0-87169-208-5〕 and Crete. Ancient processional walkways were often associated with the design of palaces such as Phaistos on Minoan Crete.〔(C.Michael Hogan, ''Knossos Fieldnotes'', The Modern Antiquarian (2007) )〕 The processional walkway is also an element of contemporary outdoor garden design.〔Steven L.
