Rocca a Mare known among Cretans as Koules is the landmark of Heraklion city. A very loved part of our city where locals and visitors love going for long summer walks. It is located very close to the port and it can be a nice spot to start wandering around Heraklion city centre. It was built by the Republic of Venice in the early 16th century, and is still in good condition today. The fortress is visitable and offers a nice view of the port and city. Ticket prices: 4 euro, Reduced 2 euro link ACCESS: The Museum is situated at the Venetian harbor, ΝW pier, Entrance from "18 Agglon" square Disabilities: a wheelchair is required to use the lift to the upper floor - priority entrance - book your visit

Iraklio's main landmarkis this squat and square 16th century fortress, which was called Rocca al Mare under the Venetians. It helped keep the Turks out for 21 years and later became a Turkish prison for Cretan rebels. Three walls sport marble reliefs of Venice's symbol: the winged Lion of St Mark.

Koules Fortress. Located at the entrance of the old port. A monument definitely worth seeing, since it was built in the 16th century and is still in a great condition!
