The Venetian Fortezza in Crete

The fortress of Réthymno, known as Fortezza, is an impressive Venetian construction located in the town of the same name on the Greek island of Crete. Its walls rise on a small elevation, known as Palayókastro, offering a panoramic view of the Aegean Sea and the city.

The Fortezza was built by the Venetians between 1573 and 1580, during the period of Venetian rule over Crete. This fortification was built in response to raids and threats from pirates and the Ottoman Empire, which had already conquered much of the eastern Mediterranean. The fortress was intended as a defence for the city and a place of refuge for the population in case of attack.

The fortress has an irregular polygonal shape, adapted to the geography of the terrain. Its high and wide walls are built of stone and surround an enclosure that includes several buildings and structures, such as warehouses, a hospital, barracks, and the Church of St Nicholas, which later became the Ibrahim Han Mosque during the Ottoman occupation.

One of the most prominent features of the Fortezza is its defensive structure, which includes bastions at each corner, designed to provide better fire cover and to defend the walls. There are also several portals, the main one being the Porta Guora, a monumental entrance leading to the inner citadel.

Despite its imposing construction, the fortress could not prevent the Ottomans from conquering Réthymno in 1646 during the Cretan War (1645-1669). After the conquest, the Ottomans used the fortress for their own military and administrative needs, making some modifications to the existing structures.

Today, the Fortezza of Réthymno is one of the most visited historical sites in Crete. Visitors can explore its extensive walls, towers and interior buildings, as well as enjoy the spectacular views over the city and the sea. The fortress also hosts cultural events, such as concerts and theatrical performances, especially in the summer months.

BUT I CAN SEE THROUGH TO THE REAL YOU IMPERFECT, THERE'S A SCREW LOOSE

oliver quick is femme fatale coded

now i know what you may be thinking; “oliver is obviously a homme fatale.” and you’re right! he fills out all of the characteristics;

controlling.

dangerious

ambitious, wanting power

yet it is not the same.

emerald wrote oliver in a promiscuous way that normally women are portrayed.

he is alluring, putting on the many faces he needs to draw people in. it’s an act of submission and dominance, he plays whatever part he needs to. the way he speaks is compassionate, articulate, and quite charming. he leaves a little mystery to the family and the audience that leads them wondering, who really is oliver quick?

he’s seductive, using his body to get what he wants and manipulate the catton family. he is openly sexual and free as we see multiple times in the film. olivers desires and wants are a core part of who he is.

because of how infatuated the catton family is with him they do not see his lies and manipulation, or they choose to ignore it.

just as a black widow oliver lures in his mates, bringing their guard down with his charm just to devour them whole.

Have you read Venetia?? I’ve been meaning to get around to it eventually!

I've read most of Georgette Heyer's books; I found Venetia especially delightful as a character. Some of Mrs. Heyer's heroines tend to be flighty or oblivious to social norms - or lean into social norms beyond good sense - but Venetia is clever, and determined, and saucy, and I enjoy her character probably more than I should.
