Morosini Fountain maintenance rescheduled to September 1st

Maintenance works on the Morosini Fountain, locally known as the Lions Fountain, in Heraklion have been rescheduled to begin on September 1st. The fountain, located in Eleftherias Square in the heart of the city, is one of Heraklion's most recognizable landmarks and a popular meeting point for visitors. The postponement means the fountain remains accessible and visible to tourists throughout the summer season. Once works begin in September, access to the immediate area around the fountain may be restricted. Travelers planning to visit Heraklion in late summer or autumn should factor this into their sightseeing plans. The fountain dates to the Venetian period and remains a key stop on any walking tour of the old city center.
