Safety barriers are being installed along the Venetian Walls in Heraklion following an incident in the early hours of this morning, when a 19-year-old fell from the historic fortifications. The Venetian Walls, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, are a popular landmark and walking route for visitors exploring the old city.
