Monuments

Monopari Fort

 

Emm. Labrinakis mentions that Monopari fort used to be the tower of Melissinoi, which was built on ancient Ionia in 1185 on a high and precipitous location (800 feet), with a long Byzantine wall and 3 tall towers with a marble gate. It had no wall on the northern, eastern and southern sides, because there was a precipice. The view from the fort was panoramic and one could see the whole prefecture of Rethymno, as far as Georgioupoli and Akrotiri.
