Kules nano Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

HellasReviewer: Γειά σας,

Αυτή η ιστοσελίδα έχει αρχειοθετηθεί λόγω έλλειψης αντίδρασης, μετά από μηνύματα που στάλθηκαν σχετικά με προβλήματα στην κρύπτη. Αν επιθυμεί ο ιδιοκτήτης, την επανενεργοποίησή της, μπορεί να έλθει σε επαφή μαζί μου μέσω του προφίλ μου, το συντομότερο δυνατό, πριν μια νέα κρύπτη τοποθετηθεί στην περιοχή της.

Σημειώστε ότι η επανενεργοποίηση μιας κρύπτης απαιτεί την ίδια διαδικασία με τον έλεγχο νέας κρύπτης και θα ισχύουν οι τρέχοντες κανόνες.

Με εκτίμηση,

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given coordinates.

We do not know the precise origins of the history of Koules, but a harbor in such a strategic position in the Mediterranean could not remain undefended. The first fortress was probably built on the site of Koules during the Arab period (9th-10th c.).
In the mid-14th century, gunpowder made its appearance in Europe. In 1462 the Venetian Senate approved an ambitious program of fortification of the city, which was to defend both Heraklion and the burgs (suburbs) outside it, according to the principles of the new bastion front system. As part of this project, the harbor tower was demolished in 1523 and replaced by the Koules fortress still standing today. Work on Koules continued until 1540. The outer walls are almost 9 meters thick, while the inner walls are up to 3 meters thick at some points. The sea damaged the foundations from early on, and repairs were carried out at intervals. These repairs’ going on our days and this is the reason the castle is closed to public these days.
You find the cache when you solve the enigma of the mystery picture. The cache is placed near the fortress. Check your solution
