Chania's Metropolitan Church, the Cathedral of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary (Trimartyri), is located on Halidon Street in the old town. Originally occupying the site of a 14th-century church, it was repurposed as a soap factory during Ottoman rule. According to legend, a miracle occurred that persuaded the Turkish Pasha of Chania to permit its restoration in the mid-19th century. The church underwent reconstruction and was completed in 1860.
