35°30′54″N 24°01′01″E / 35.515°N 24.017°E / 35.515; 24.017 The Roman Catholic Diocese of La Canea or Cidonia (Cydonia /sɪˈdoʊniə/) was a bishopric on Crete, with see at present Chania, and afterward was twice a Latin titular see.[1][2]

History

edit

The Ancient city of Kydonia on Crete (insular Greece) had a bishop no later than the second Byzantine rule (961 AD – 1204 AD), when it was given the modern name of Chania.

The Venetians (and shortly the Genoans) who conquered Crete firmly established a Latin diocese. It was suppressed only in 1700.
