Bembo fountain

It's a late medieval (Venetian) fountain that's worth a quick look but nothing really special. The figurine is interesting, possibly older than the fountain. Can be found at the top of the market.

Unfortunately, the Bembo Fountain turned out to be a huge disappointment. The place is very neglected and poorly maintained. The area around the fountain smells of urine, and it is very dirty and covered in bird droppings. It's sad to see such a historic site in such a state. It's definitely not worth visiting in its current state.

A very important piece in the place's heritage. But needs improvement. Was no water pouring and the smell was... Like pee. Still, worts seeing.

Beautiful place with lot of tourist local taverns.

Amazing place history and old vibe

It's an interesting place, it's worth going there to find out the history of what happened or take a guide to tell you all about it. because otherwise it will be uninteresting. Only ruins.

Great place to visit and to learn the history that this fountain holds! A must visit if you arr in the area ''Next to the sebil, the monumental Bembo Fountain is preserved in good condition. It is named after the Venetian Provveditor General (governor) of Heraklion Gianmatteo Bembo, who built it in 1552-54. It was the first time that the people of Heraklion saw running water in the city, showing how important the fountain was. The fountain consists of a spout and a small, rectangular basin. Over the spout is set the headless statue of a Roman official from the Ierapetra area in southeast Crete, while the whole monument is decorated with Venetian family coats of arms."

There is a beautiful building in the center of the city, which is said to have been built 500 years ago.
