One of the most important Venetian monuments in Heraklion.Today it houses the Municipal Art Gallery and is open to the public every day.From the first years of Venetian rule in the 13th century (1239),the Venetians wishing to consolidate their rule over their new colony of Candia and simultaneously express their gratitude to and love of their home built a basilica dedicated to their patron St Mark.This was where the official ceremonies of the Venetian administration were held and where the Venetian nobles were buried.It was plain in section with a covered portico, muck like the building we see today.The Society for Cretan Historical Studies restored the building to its original form in 1956

St. Mark's Basilica, almost next door, is now the Municipal Art Gallery and often host to art and crafts exhibitions, almost always open to visit. Built in 1239 in the Piazza delle Biade (Square of Blades), it was at one time the Cathedral of Crete. The Basilica belonged to the reigning Duke, eventually becoming his burial place. In May 2006, the Basillica was host to the First International Conference on Ethics and Politics, featuring speakers from all over the world. You will welcome its cool, dignified interior and may begin to feel the great age of this city in its venerable walls.
