Dating largely to the 7th century AD, the Byzantine fortifications were constructed over earlier Hellenistic defenses, reusing stones and architectural fragments from Ancient Kydonia—a city damaged by several earthquakes. As a result, the walls not only served as protection but also embodied centuries of Chania’s evolving history.
