    The Castle of Frangokastello

    We will have a short stop for photos outside of the fortress of Frangokastelo , where historic events took place during the period of the Venetian rule, as well as during the subsequent period of the Ottoman rule. The castle was built by the Venetians in 1371-74 as a garrison to impose order on the rebellious Sfakia region, to deter pirates and to protect Venetian nobles and their properties. On 17 May 1828 a celebrated battle was fought at Frangokastello, hundreds of locals and Epirotes led by Hatzimichalis Dalianis, a Greek patriot from Epirus attempting to spread the Greek war of independence from the mainland to Crete, occupied the castle, but were besieged by the Turks and slaughtered. According to tradition around the anniversary of the battle each May, shadows of the armed Cretan and Epirote soldiers who lost their lives there seem to march towards the fortress around dawn, these are called Drosoulites, and have been explained as a meteorological phenomenon.
