The city of Iraklio (or Heraklion or Ηράκλειο in Greek) is the capital of the island of Crete. The city has approximately 200,000 citizens. It is the biggest city of the island. Heraklion was founded by Arab invaders in the 9th century and called Al-Khandak. Later the city was known as Chandakas and when the Venetians concurred the island they renamed it into Candia. The city of Heraklion suffered during many wars. Most important the siege of Heraklion by the Ottomans from 1646 to 1668. With 26 years it was the longest siege in the World history. Also during the Second World War the city suffered during the Nazi bombardment. Many buildings in the historic Renaissance city center are therefore destroyed. Still important buildings exist. Like the Loggia (city hall), the castle Rocca al Mare (Koules), the Titos Church and the Morosini Fountain. Furthermore, the church of Ekaterini, nowadays a museum. A unique collection of Renaissance icons which has survived the Ottoman era.
