The old church holds icons associated with the Cretan School and the island's post-Byzantine painting. Seeing religious art in this setting gives the works a more focused context than a broad museum survey. Across the square, Agios Minas Cathedral adds another part of Heraklion's church landscape to the same small area.
What to look for
Cretan School icons form the core display.
The former church is part of the museum setting.
Useful to know
Pair it with Agios Minas Cathedral across the square; confirm current entry hours first.
