Saint Rocco

At the northwestern edge of the square Splantzia we meet the church of San Rocco. The construction of the temple took place in 1630, probably after the outbreak of a plague, as Saint Rokkos was the protector against plague. Under the cornice there is the inscription:

DEO O(PTIMO).M.(AXIMO) ET D(IVO). ROCCO DICATVM. M.D.CXXX.

During the Ottoman Era it functioned as a military outpost, while during the Cretan State and until 1925 as a police station.
