The Fortress of Kales Ierapetra is located at the entrance of the city port and it is the only surviving fort in the south urban center in the south coast of Crete.

The temple of Afentis Christos in Ierapetra is located in the beach zone, in the old town of Ierapetra, in short distance from Fortress of Kales. The temple is two-aisle, with unequal width aisles and modern construction narthex on the west side. In modern times two domes have been constructed in the western part of the two aisles.
