Workshop Hotel
The “Grand Arsenal” venue is a restored historical building, conveniently located in the heart of the old harbor of Chania, right next to the sea. The area is packed with local taverns, coffee shops and restaurants. Several major touristic attractions (such as the lighthouse and the Naval museum) are in a walking distance. The venue hosts several conferences organized by TUC and has all the required technical infrastructure for these purposes.
The “Grand Arsenal (Center of Mediterranean Architecture)” in the city of Chania traces a historical course through the centuries. Residents and visitors of the city pass by this emblematic building every day, not knowing its importance and usability over the centuries. The architecture of the building moves both lovers and scholars of architectural history, as well as any pedestrian who happens to pass in front of it. The arched passages, the ornate sheds, the sturdy construction with the carved sandstones and the art of masonry throughout the building dominate the heart of the Old Venetian port. The arsenals existed in the port area of Chania since 1497. The construction of the “Grand Arsenal” began in 1585 – 1600. Over the years, its premises have successively hosted the school of the Christian Community (1872), several theatrical performances (1892), the public hospital (1923) and the Town Hall (1928-1941). Reaching today, from an uncovered ruin, it has been transformed into an impressive venue for events and exhibitions. It operates as a Center for Mediterranean Architecture, hosting important Greek and international events on its premises. A large percentage of these outward-looking actions concern – as is natural – architectural art.
