Eleftheriou Venizelou Square is a square in the city of Heraklion in Crete, named after the Cretan statesman Eleftherios Venizelos. It dates back to the Venetian era and is more commonly known as Lions Square or Leonton Square (genitive), after the Venetian-era Morosini Fountain in its midst, which features four lions supporting the main basin.
