ThE CENTRE OF hERAKLION

Eleftheriou Venizelou Square(Lions square) is one of the most visited sites by tourists. There's never a moment when the square is empty. Through the course of the day thousands of locals and tourists will cross the square, stare at the fountain, check out the shops, sit at a café, eat something quick, or visit an exhibition in the Basilica of St Mark. During the night, lion's square becomes a place for young people to pass the time with their friends. No matter what time of the year, the Lion's square will always be busy.

Fontana Morosini is a fountain placed in Lion's square, Heraklion. It's an ornate venetian fountain with four lions with water gushing out of their mouths. This fountain is one of the most important monuments the venetians bestowed in Heraklion. When it was built, it solved the water shortage problem in Heraklion.
