Heraklion city authorities held a meeting on Friday, July 3 at the historic Loggia building to discuss ongoing restoration works on the Morosini Fountain, one of the city's most iconic landmarks in Lions Square (Plateia Liondarion). The meeting included representatives from the Ministry of Culture's Department for the Conservation of Ancient and Modern Monuments. The Morosini Fountain, built in 1628 during Venetian rule, is a central gathering point in Heraklion and a popular stop for visitors exploring the old town.
