| Description |
English: View from the walls of the Souda fortress, built by the Venetians in 1573 on the small, rocky island that stands like a guard in the entrance of the gulf of Souda, on the north coast of the Chania prefecture in Crete.
After the occupation of the city of Chania from the Turkish army in 1646, the fortress was brutally attacked from the ground and the sea. However, the few armed defenders of fortress were able to save it. After the fall of Heraklion in 1669, the islet remained under Venetian possession until September 27, 1715, when it was finally surrendered to the Turkish army after a long siege and heroic resistance that lasted for 72 days.
