They are one of the most imposing and impressive monuments of Crete, a reminder of its rich history and culture. Visiting them is like a journey back in time, to where 15th-century craftsmen worked with dedication to construct this impressive fortification. From 1462 to 1669, Renaissance architects and engineers, such as Gianno da Compofregoso and Michele Sanmicheli, contributed to the design and construction of the walls, which today constitute an emblematic symbol of the region. While touring the walls, visitors can admire their unique design, which resembles an isosceles triangle. Their northern side, by the sea, enchants with its beauty and is suitable for a leisurely walk, as the sea breeze embraces the area. The total length of the walls reaches approximately 7 kilometers, and their seven bastions, with the bastion of Martinego standing out at the southern end, offer stunning views with historical and strategic importance. A visit to the Venetian Walls is not limited to visual enjoyment only. It is an opportunity to explore folklore and cultural elements of Crete, to understand the importance of fortification and to feel the atmosphere of the era that defined the city of Chania. Whether you are a history buff or looking for a picturesque landscape for beautiful photos, the Venetian Walls of Heraklion are definitely a must-visit for every visitor to the island.
