Lions Square & Morosini Fountain

Lions Square, officially known as Eleftherios Venizelos Square after the former prime minister, is a bustling meeting point in Heraklion. The square’s nickname comes from the four stone lions that adorn the ornate Morosini Fountain, a central feature that draws both visitors and locals. Here, you can observe the daily life of the city, with people crossing paths on their way to work, to meet friends, or to go shopping. The fountain, with its detailed stonework and flowing water, provides a serene backdrop to the lively atmosphere of the square.
