Travel Tips for Chania
The Cathedral of the Presentation of Virgin Mary
by gale.blog.pl
In tourist season the square in front of the Cathedral is very busy - it's so cose to Halidon and Skridloff, as well as Old Harbour.
...And I'm very ashamed that I never entered the building... :(
"The present Cathedral was built on the site of an older church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This church had been converted into a soap-factory and belonged to the Turkish dignitary Moustafa Pasha Giritli. The construction of the church was completed in 1860 in the style of a three aisle Basilica. The middle aisle, covered by a pointed arch, is elevated. The other aisles are covered by cross-ribbed vaults and are divided vertically by the women?s balcony. On the north side of the temple is the tall bell-tower. The architectural elements of the temple are associated more with the tradition developed in the period of the Venician occupation. That is: sculptured pseudo-pillars, cornices and arched openings. The east wall is decorated with large and impressive religious paintings, the works of G. Kalliterakis, G. Stravrakis, E. Tripolitakis and D. Kokotsis."
