NOTICE
Rethymnon. K. Giapitsoglou (28th ΕΒΑ) reports on excavations in the old town.
On Kastrinoyiannakis Street, the plot of the church of the Holy Apostles was completely
excavated. Three construction phases are noted. In the late 14th or 15th century a single-nave
church was built, a second nave was added to the north in the 16th century, and in the Ottoman
period the building became part of a larger residential complex. It remained in use until the
late 19th century when for unknown reasons it was destroyed.
Excavation within the twin building in the Agios Nicholaos bastion of the Fortezza fortress
revealed an older building which was levelled and overbuilt in the late 16th or early 17th
century. Berettina pottery of the second half of the 16th century, Venetian coins and a bronze
coin of Justinian were amongst the finds.
