Built in 1588 by Venetians from ancient marble fragments, including a headless Roman statue transported here from Ierapetra by the architect Zuane Bémbo.
The polygonal stone house in front of it is a Turkish fountain house from 1860, now a café, and is currently being restored.

Hiking

The polygonal Turkish fountain house from 1860, today a café, invites for a break to watch the scene on the square. Behind it, the Bémbo fountain, built in 1588 by Venetians, is composed of antique marble fragments, including a headless Roman statue, which the architect Zuane Bémbo had transported here from Ierapetra.

The Venetian fountain at the end of a market alley was built in 1588 using a Roman sarcophagus and a Roman statue. In front of the fountain there are the chairs of a coffee house whose kitchen is set up in the Ottoman fountain house.
