Monuments

Fragkokastello is a typical medieval castle, built on the south edges of Crete, in order to contain the undisciplined residents of Sfakia during the Venetian occupation. It became famous later, during the 1821 revolution, when in 1828 Chatzi Michalis Dalianis and his horsemen set up the resistance here and found his tragic death. "Drosoulites", the figures of horsemen that, as villagers claim, appear in the horizon in early summer, seem to recall memories of those people.
