The Court House (Chania)

Greece / Hania / Khania / Chania
Construction was begun in the late years of the Turkish occupation in order to house a military hospital. The building complex consists of several wings in the form of a free rectangle, surrounding a central court with free access from the façade. Both this complex and its morphology greatly affected the design of the modern city and the planning of some key road junctions, as well as the circus opposite the façade. The building was renovated after a destructive fire in 1936, and a third floor was added to the central part.
