Rethymno, Crete, City Centre Walking Tour (HD) Shops - Bars - Restaurants - Rimondi Fountain

The walk starts at the Rimondi Fountain and continues through the city streets, past shops, bars and restaurants. We take a short detour out onto the sea front and finish our tour with a look around the Kara Musa Pasha Mosque.
**********************

The Rimondi fountain was built in 1626 by the city''s Rector A. Rimondi. It covered part of the city''s water needs and is located in the Platanou square, which was then the centre of the Venetian city. It has three water basins, three lion shaped water exits, and three columns crowned by Corinthian capitals bearing a Latin inscription. Today the fountain still springs water through the three lion heads.
The Kara Musa Pasha Mosque began life as a monastery but was turned into a mosque by the Turks, who added the domes and a minaret, of which only bits remain. It is named after the Ottoman admiral instrumental in the capture of Rethymno. It is not normally open to the public.
