The "Pattakou Hani" is a building complex located on "Arcadiou" street 48-50. It dates back to the Venetian Period and was either the private property of a Venetian General, or a public building. It is worth noticing the front of the building complex, which was built according to Renaissance aesthetics and standards, commonly found in Greece.
The doorframe is one of the largest in the city of Rethymno, richly decorated.
The building architecture is impressive, with Corinthian and Gothic order influences.
The top part is decorated with two large and deep reliefs, representing lions and the arched opening is decorated with flying "Eros".
