There Was Once a Town... The Great Fortress

It was a great surprise for me to read the new book by Mrs. Liana Starida, There was once a town… The Great Fortress. From the very first page I realised that what I held in my hands was not just a routine contribution to the eventful history of Heraklion like several others that have been published before now, but something else entirely. It is an impressive and original work which aims to act as a guide on an archaeological and historic tour of our age-old town which preserves, like few others, the traces of many disparate cultures on its historic facade.
