Historical Notice: Heraldic ensemble on the eastern walls of the castle of Chania. It bears the coats-of-arms of five Venetian officials, damaged (at least since the begining of the 20th c.), to the point that they cannot be identified. Chania was under the Venetian rule from the early 13th century to 1645.
