SPLANTZIA: A HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IN CHANIA
Splantzia is one of Chania’s most historic neighborhoods, preserving its unique identity through centuries of history. Since the Venetian era, Splantzia has been a center of life and activity. The Church of Saint Nicholas, built in 1320 and having undergone numerous transformations, stands out as a symbol of Crete’s multicultural history. From a Dominican monastery to an Ottoman mosque with the addition of a minaret, and later an Orthodox church, it represents the coexistence of cultures and religions.
In modern times, 1821 Square serves as the heart of Splantzia, where large plane trees provide shade, and the surrounding cafés and taverns offer a blend of tradition and tranquility.
