HERAKLION MUSEUMS
Press here

Archaeological Museum , where treasures
of the Palace of Knossos
hold an important place.

The Historical Museum with its various collections offers to the visitor a trip through time from the first centuries A.D. until nowadays, with emphasis on the dramatic history of the city of Heraklion.

In the Museum for the Battle of Crete and National Resistance
the visitor can see
relics of the glorious,
but heartbreaking,
period of Cretan resistance
to occupation between 1941 and 1945.

In the exhibition room
of the church of
St. Aikaterini of Sinai
one can admire representative art work
of the Cretan Renaissance that exudes a certain religious awe to the visitor. Damaskinos holds a special place amongst this very special school of work.

Lastly, one can see a totally different exhibition,
but equally important
and interesting, in the Museum of Natural History where representative samples of the flora and fauna of Crete are exhibited.
