A series of defensive walls were built around the city of Chania. The inner city walls were first built in antiquity, and then rebuilt by the Byzantine Empire. The outer walls were built in the 16th century by the Republic of Venice. Some were demolished in the 20th century, but parts of both the Byzantine and Venetian walls remain intact.
