Résumé
As part of a research on Venetian and Ottoman architecture in Crete, this paper introduces a firstinventory of fortified mansions and tower-houses. They formed a network controlling coasts, plains,and cultivated lands. It is hard to retrace the origin of these houses without deploying stratigraphicand chemical analysis. However, a first morphological study has identified recurring elements: asmall plan with several floors and an access on the first level; embrasures, bretèches and putlogholes, as well as a fireplace; and a decorative sobriety. In a surveyed tower-house we find thatmilitary devices refer to a first constructive phase, while residential elements refer to a secondphase. These hybrid features are common to fortified houses in the Mediterranean and beyond,which were strong elements of military and spatial organization. This vernacular and colonialheritage has got a significant value in terms of architectural models and possible reuse
