IL FRONTE SUL PORTO. ARCHITETTURA E COLORE NEL PORTO ANTICO DI RÉTHIMNO

THE HARBOUR FRONT VIEW. ARCHITECTURE AND COLOUR IN THE ANCIENT HARBOUR OF RÉTHIMNO. Réthimno, old city located in Crete Island, between XIII and XVII century under the dominion of Venice, had the rule of provincial capital. The city holds interesting remains: buildings, streets and monuments realized in this period and in the later one, characterized by the Turkish dominion. All around the ancient harbour some coloured low houses rose during the Venetian period and later were modified and enlarged during the Turkish period. In this paper we present the urban survey realized in their bachelor thesis by our students Chrysi Androulaki e Angeliki Sechremeli. Their work makes use of consolidated methodologies of urban survey applied in previous researches about marginal urban settings and Piedmont markets.
