The historic port of Heraklion has lost its role as a place of exchange and labor and is now a recreational area and a point of contact between the historic center and the extensive modern port. For the docks and vaulted shipyards that, mutilated by earthquakes and modernization interventions of recent times, form the front of the city in the old port, a dynamic functional role for the community was sought, along with the study of consolidation.
The purpose of the research was the historical and technological documentation of the complex of the eastern and western shipyards, the Zane cistern, the salt warehouse and the western warehouse. The research was commissioned by the Ministry of Culture to the Laboratory for the Documentation and Conservation of Historic Buildings and Sites of the Technical University of Crete.
