35°30′54″N24°01′01″E/ 35.515°N 24.017°E/35.515; 24.017 TheRoman Catholic Diocese of La Canea or Cidonia(Cydonia/sɪˈdoʊniə/) was a bishopric onCrete,with see at presentChania,and afterward was twice a Latin titular see.[1][2]

History[edit]

The Ancient city ofKydoniaonCrete(insularGreece) had a bishop no later than the second Byzantine rule (961 AD – 1204 AD), when it was given the modern name ofChania.

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