Cracks have appeared on the northwest facade of the "Chrysostomos" building, located at the corner of Chalidon and Skrydlof streets in Heraklion's old town. The damage has been noticed by passersby, and local authorities are expected to assess the structure. Both streets are in a busy area frequently visited by tourists exploring the historic city center. Visitors walking in that area should remain aware of the situation and follow any temporary barriers or signage that may be put in place during the inspection. There is no indication at this stage that the surrounding streets are closed, but the structural condition of the building warrants professional evaluation. Stay alert to local updates if you plan to visit that part of Heraklion.
