Abstract

Venetian and Ottoman tower-houses in Crete are a little-known topic, largely due to the fragmentary nature of the sources. An inventory of surviving buildings, however, allowed to make a first study of typologies and distribution of the towers on the island. The survey of a case study showed that these towers were built for mililary purposes, but then the residential function (clearly in view placed at the top level) took over. Fortified houses, and towers in particular, were part of a system of power for land control and participated in the construction of natural and anthropic landscape.
