The Vier Zeugen Church, better known as the Vier Märtyrer Church (Greek "Tesseris Martyres"), is one of the beautiful sights of the historic city of Rethymno. The name "Vier Märtyrer" commemorates four brave Cretan men who refused to convert to Islam when Crete came under Turkish rule and sacrificed their lives for their faith. Their names were Aggelis, Emmanouil, Georgios and Nikolaos.
The church is located near the Guora Gate, one of the main entrances to the old town of Rethymno, where the Vier Märtyrer were executed in 1824.
