Assumption Cathedral, Chania, Roman Catholic cathedral in Chania, Greece
The Cathedral of the Assumption exhibits neoclassical and Renaissance architectural styles through its three-aisled basilica structure built with brick materials.
The current cathedral, inaugurated in 1879, replaced an earlier single-aisled church from 1844 that sustained damage from earthquakes in the area.
Services at the cathedral are conducted in multiple languages to accommodate an international congregation, reflecting the multicultural nature of Chania.
The cathedral entrance at Halidon 46 features a Franciscan Capuchin coat of arms and leads through a small door to an inner courtyard.
The cathedral stands near the Orthodox Trimartiri in central Chania, demonstrating the religious diversity maintained since the Venetian period.
