In Turkish it means "barracks", but it was the Venetians who erected the fort as a fortification project to protect the port's entrance from enemy ships.

In the city of Chania, there are two medieval fortresses, which played an important role in the history of the city and were associated with top moments of the whole island, as well as another smaller and less important to the south. These fortresses are the fortress of Kydonia, the fortress of Firkas, and the fortress of Kastelos at Agia Kyriaki. Opposite Kastelli, on the other side of the port, still dominates the fortress of Firkas, built on a low hill, which now houses the Naval Museum of Crete.
