Fort Koules

Description

Koulés er en fæstning i havnen i Heraklion. Den blev bygget omkring 1540 af venetianerne.

Der er tyve værelser og magasiner i stueetagen bag tykke mure, hvor der stadig opbevares middelalderlige kanonkugler. På taget findes en stor balkon, der tilbyder en fantastisk udsigt over havet. Under fæstningen er der en hemmelig mørk gang (det er tilladt at gå ind i begyndelsen), der blev brugt til at flygte og overraske fjenden ved udgangen.

Da tyrkerne fik kontrol over Kreta, blev fæstningen også brugt som fængsel.

Det er et bemærkelsesværdigt velbevart eksempel på militærarkitektur fra det 16. århundrede.
