The entrance cuts through the western fortification line, making the defensive wall more understandable than a distant view of masonry. Its adjoining section shows how a route into Venetian Candia was contained by the city's edge. This ground-level passage offers a different perspective from the Kazantzakis tomb, which occupies the higher wall circuit.
What to look for
A stone entrance passes through the wall.
A fortification section adjoins the gate.
Useful to know
