This is a hitherto unexplored topic, overshadowed by the extensive research on the mendicants mainly in Italy and the West in general. Unlike the Crusaders, who were viewed with hostility in the East, the ascetic way of living of the mendicants was instrumental in promoting a compassionate face of Catholic Western Europe in the eyes of Orthodox Easterners. Their vow to poverty and active charity towards the poor brought in closer contact two worlds of differing doctrines, hitherto divided by the trauma of the religious schism in 1054 and the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204.

A taxonomy of natural hazards applicable to cultural heritage was developed based on the existing theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Sudden-onset hazards, such as earthquakes and floods, and slow-onset hazards, such as wetting-drying cycles and biological contamination, were incorporated into the hazard assessment procedure. Future alteration of conditions due to climate change, such as change in heat waves' duration, was also taken into account. The proposed hazard assessment framework was applied to the case of the Historic Centre of Rethymno, a city on the northern coast of the island of Crete in Greece, to identify, analyze, and prioritize the hazards that have the potential to cause damage to the center's historic structures. The assessment procedure includes climate model projections, GIS spatial modeling and mapping, and finally a hazard analysis matrix to enable the sharing of a better understanding of multiple hazards with the stakeholders. The results can facilitate decision making by providing the vulnerability and risk analysis with the nature and spatial distribution of the significant hazards within the study area and its setting.

Rethymnon, rescue excavations were carried out, that brought to light
interesting remains.
At Kastrinoyiannakis Street, the ruined church of the Holy Apostles was
completely unearthed. Three building phases can be discerned: In the late 14th or early 15th century was constructed the initial single-nave church. In the 16th century, another nave was added to the north, while the whole building expanded to the west. During the years of the Ottoman rule, the building was a part of a larger complex with residential use.
Further research at the Twin Building, in the Bastion of Ayios Nicholaos
of the Fortezza Fortress, revealed the foundations of an older construction within the building, possibly a house dated to the second half of the 16th century. Numismatic evidence from the deepest layers, such as the coin of Justinian the 1st, certify the use of Palaeochora’s hill, on which the Fortress was built, in the early Christian period.

Venetian and the Ottoman Occupation. To the south of the Katholikon of the Augustinian Monastery (nowadays known as Odeion), were unearthed parts of the southern and western wing of the monastic complex. The finds, mostly glazed pottery shreds and copper coins, date the complex from the early 15th to the late 16th century AD. The restoration of the two-naved vaulted building, at the corner of Panos Koronaios’ and Smyrnis Str., despite the
lack of finds, gave interesting information about its initial use as a church (possibly Hagia Sophia), and subsequently as a mosque. Finally, an excavation was carried out in the interior of a building, at Nikephoros
Phokas Str., that could be identified with the church of Hagia Paraskeve mentioned in the written sources. The excavation led to the reconstruction of the building’s history, from the 16th to the 20th century, when it was used as a storehouse.
