    Mediterranean cities maintain traces of their past despite more recent urban transformations. The paper focuses on the town of Candia, a strategic site in Venice’s maritime domain (1207-1669). After extensive urban demolition and reconstruction, the memory of Venetian Candia survives in its road network, place names, and archaeological remains. Some maps and cadastral sources of the early modern period highlight known and less-known elements of its lost urban landscape

The cartography reflects this changed image
