Saint Titus has served successive Christian communities and was adapted as a mosque under Ottoman rule. Its present form also reflects rebuilding after the 1856 earthquake. Those layers make the building a concise way to read changes in Heraklion's religious life, while its position above the old harbour places the history in the city center.
What to look for
The façade faces the square above the harbor.
Its present form reflects later rebuilding.
