As the largest city in Crete, with a major port in the eastern Mediterranean, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oreotravel.com\/blog\/things-to-do-heraklion\/\">Heraklion<\/a> required reliable drinking water. This led to the creation of aqueduct systems and then, beautifully made fountains in Heraklion. Many of these fountains are still functioning today.<\/p><p>During Venetian rule from 1205 to 1669, the authorities invested a lot in civic architecture. This included the construction of aqueducts and public fountains to move fresh spring water from the countryside into the city. The <strong>Morosini Fountain<\/strong> was fed by a 15-kilometre aqueduct bringing water from the Archanes springs. This was a major win for Venetian engineering and innovation for the time.<\/p><p>Later, under Ottoman rule, from 1669 to 1898, the water infrastructure grew with the addition of <em>sebils<\/em>. The <strong>Bembo Fountain<\/strong> and <strong>Ottoman Sebil<\/strong> in Kornarou Square are the perfect examples of these types of fountain structures.<\/p><p>The main role of <strong>fountains Heraklion<\/strong> was to support urban life but also to symbolise artistic structures depicting historical and theological significance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ef094e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ef094e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc5d1db e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cc5d1db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a82dfdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a82dfdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bembo Fountain and the Ottoman Sebil of Kornarou<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a0766b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a0766b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Found within Kornarou Square, the Bembo Fountain, Heraklion, is a great example of Renaissance and Gothic architecture.

It is the perfect place to start exploring the city&#8217;s rich history. Next, walk just 3 minutes southeast along 1821 Street until you reach <strong>Kornarou Square<\/strong>. Here you will see the <strong>Bembo Fountain<\/strong>. Heraklion\u2019s oldest fountain, adorned with Gothic columns and Roman touches. Just beside it stands the Ottoman sebil.<\/p><p>From here, continue about 7 minutes south down Evans Street. Once you reach the <strong>Dermata Gate<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>Priuli Fountain<\/strong> (also called <em>Fontana Nuova<\/em>). Built during the Siege of Candia in 1666. This <strong>Heraklion fountain<\/strong> is the perfect reflection of classical Venetian architecture. Afterwards, make your way 10 minutes east along Ikarou Avenue, towards the sea. Keep an eye out on your left for the <strong>Yenicar Aga Fountain<\/strong>. Famous for its beautiful decoration, it served as a public fountain during Ottoman rule.<\/p><p>Finally, loop back 8 minutes west to the <strong>Historical Museum of Crete<\/strong>. Just behind it, you\u2019ll find the <strong>Idomenea Fountain<\/strong>. You can end your walk with a much-deserved break at a seaside caf\u00e9, or why not go a bit further to <strong>Koules Fortress<\/strong>?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e39b9f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3e39b9f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b7b716 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b7b716\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why you should discover the fountains of Heraklion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-928be64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"928be64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Heraklion\u2019s fountains showcase so much of the city&#8217;s history.
