Back to newsLocal organizations and the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) in Chania are formally requesting that a historic building known as "To Psygeio" (the Refrigerator) be repurposed to permanently house the Historical Archive of Crete. The building, a distinctive structure in Chania, is considered a fitting and culturally appropriate location for the archive, which preserves centuries of Cretan history and documentation. The initiative reflects broader efforts to give the archive a stable, dedicated home. For visitors with an interest in Cretan history, the Historical Archive of Crete in Chania is already accessible and holds records, maps, and documents spanning the Venetian, Ottoman, and modern periods. No immediate changes for visitors are expected while the proposal is reviewed by authorities.
