Heraklion is the island’s capital and largest city. Its long history began in post-Minoan times, and saw the succeeding of various conquerors, whose traces are still evident in the city. For instance, one of Heraklion's most important landmarks is the Kouless Fortress in the Venetian harbour. In recent years, many streets around the centre have become pedestrianised and link the major monuments of the city, so that one can go about on foot more easily, free from the rush of traffic.
