Municipal Market
Impressive because of its size and shape, the Municipal Market of Hania is built on the ruins of the Piatta Forma rampart. The construction study was concluded by K. Drandakis. It has a cruciform shape and houses 76 shops arranged in groups along the four arms of the cross. It is made out of quarried porous stone with an impressive south facade. The architectural features mainly refer to the local tradition developed during the Venetian Occupation. The construction was completed in 1913 and it was Eleftherios Venizelos, then Prime Minister, who inaugurated the Municipal Market on December 4th, 1913 during the celebrations for the union of Crete with Greece.
