"Die 1453 begonnene Kirche des Heiligen Franz von Assisi war Teil eines Franziskanerinnen-Klosters. Der einschiffige, ursprünglich holzgedeckte Raum wurde 1796 durch die Türken in ein Imaret (Armen-Speisehaus) umgewandelt und wird in neuerer Zeit für Kulturveranstaltungen genutzt. Seit der Renovierung 1996 dient das Gebäude als Byzantinisches Museum der Präfektur Rethymno. Ein prächtiges Renaissance-Portal an der Nordseite stammt aus der venezianischen Zeit. Auf dem Gelände des Klosters wurde 1796 eine türkische Mädchenschule errichtet, die 1890 einem Schulneubau wich, der heute eine städtische Grundschule beherbergt." - Quelle: Wikipedia

The nave, originally timber-roofed room was in 1796 converted by the Turks in a Imaret (arms-supply house) and used more recently for cultural events. Since its renovation in 1996 the building serves as the Byzantine Museum of Rethymno. A magnificent Renaissance portal on the north side dates from the Venetian period. on the grounds of the monastery in 1796, a Turkish girl's school was built, which gave way in 1890 a school building which now houses an urban elementary school.
