Lonely Planet review for Morosini Fountain

Several notable vestiges from Venetian times survive. Most famous is Morosini Fountain, which spurts water from four lions into eight ornate U-shaped marble troughs. The fountain, built in 1628, was commissioned by Francesco Morosini while he was governor of Crete. A marble statue of Poseidon with his trident used to stand at the centre, but was destroyed during the Turkish occupation.
