The mixing room as seen from where it joins the main aeration chamber. This is the secondary 'arena' section, more closed in and far more dangerous as it is also the primary crossroads of the level. The side passages and ramps all lead through this central area, making the elevator as a risky, though very quick, route to the top floors.
Founded in 824, the city of Heraklion, or Iraklion, was originally a castle that served as the capital of the Emirate of Crete, and was known by its Arabic-speaking inhabitants and rulers as Rabd Al-Handaq, which became known as Chandax in Greek and Candia in Italian. The city was formerly the site of the port of Knossos during the Minoan period (3100-1100 BC), and later, the port city of Heracleum stood in the vicinity of the present city, which was likely abandoned during the Arab raids on the island during the 600s or 700s, while it was under the Byzantine empire. The city came under Byzantine rule once again when the island of Crete was reconquered in 961, leading to destruction of the original city and the slaughter of its Arab inhabitants, and the city was renamed Megalo Kastro, or Chandax. The city was rebuilt during the Byzantine period, and remained under Byzantine rule until 1204, when it was sold to the Republic of Venice after the Fourth Crusade. The Venetians renamed the city Candia, and at this time, the island of Crete was also known under that name. Venetians settled on the island in significant numbers, and led to the Cretan Renaissance, with the mixing of Greek and Venetian culture. The city was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1669, becoming known as Kandiye, and eventually went into decline after the harbor silted up and the capital of the island was shifted to Chania. An earthquake in 1856 destroyed and damaged many buildings in the city. After the Cretan Revolt of 1896-1898, the city became part of the autonomous Cretan State, during which time the city was renamed Heraklion, after the ancient Roman port city of Heracleum, and the island formally joined Greece in 1913. The city grew massively after becoming part of Greece, with the harbor being expanded and modernized, and urban redevelopment becoming especially pronounced after the Greek Civil War in the mid-20th Century. In 1971, the city once again became the capital of Crete. Today, Heraklion is the fourth-largest city in Greece, and is a mix of new and old, with many older and newer buildings coexisting within the city, the old Venetian walls still standing around the perimeter of the city center, and suburbs that stretch out towards the Minoan Palace at Knossos.
