HERAKLION CITY TOUR
LIONS SQUARE AND MOROSINI FOUNTAIN
The Lions in Heraklion is the square of the Fontana Morosini, the ornate Venetian fountain
with four lions with water gushing from their mouths. The Fontana Morosini is in
Eleftheriou Venizelou Square in the centre of Heraklion, but the inhabitants of the city never
use the official name, usually referring to it as the Lions Square or the Lions for short.
The fountain with the lions is the most important monuments the
Venetians destowed on Heraklion. When it was built, it offered a solution to the
problem of supplying Heraklion with water, providing 1000 barrels of water a day.
