Fragokastelo Castle, Crete, Greece
A historical site located on the southern coast of Crete, Greece. This castle was built between 1371 and 1374 by the Venetians and was initially named the Saint Nikitas Castle in honor of the nearby church. However, due to dissatisfaction with the Venetian rulers, the locals contemptuously referred to it as Fragokastelo, meaning "Frankish castle", and this name was eventually widely accepted, including by the Venetians themselves. Not only was it a military fortress built by the Venetians on the island of Crete, but it was also built to control the residents of the rebellious Sfabria region and resist pirate attacks.
