Church of St. Nicholas

The Church of St. Nicholas stands on Splantzia Square in the old town of Chania. Built around 1320 by Dominican friars as a Catholic church, it became the Hünkar Mosque after the Ottoman conquest and was consecrated as an Orthodox church in 1918. It keeps both a bell tower and a minaret about 36 metres tall.
