The DERMATAS GATE is located approximately in the middle of the coastal Venetian wall overlooking a gulf of the same name.  At present, only a part of its side facing the city is visible, while its exit towards the sea is seen beneath the current coastal avenue.

The HISTORICAL MUSEUM of Crete was founded in 1953 and is housed in a neoclassical building of exceptional architectural merit. It covers a period of seventeen centuries of local history and culture, from the early Christian centuries to modern times. 

The MOROSINI FOUNTAIN (Lions fountain), built by Francesco Morosini in 1628, is the best known fountain of the city.  Following maintenance works, the fountain is currently one of the most impressive Venetian monuments of the city.
