The Venetian Loggia on 25th August Street, is about 50 metres down the street from "Lion Square" (Morosini fountain) on the right, and now sits the city hall of Heraklion. You can walk in and take a quick look. This is a two-storeay Venetian mansion completed in 1628, whch used to be a meeting place for the nobles of Crete.
