OLD MEDIEVAL TOWN

Explore The Past

Visit the old town of Rhodes – Explore the past in the present.

Palace of the Grand Master

The Palace of the Grand Master, reinstated by the Italians in 1940 after almost a century of abandonment (the building had been destroyed as a result of an explosion in a forgotten powder store in its basement, in 1856), stands out because of its imposing entrance and exquisitely well-preserved towers and battlements. The interiors of the buildings, decorated with priceless ornamental objects, are equally impressive.

Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum is housed in the Gothic building of the Great Hospital of the Knights and preserves masterpieces of art on Rhodes, finds from ancient lalysos and Kamiros and mosaic paintings from the city of Rhodes.

Knight’s Street

The Knight’s Street, the imposing street that leads to the Palace of the Grand Master, keeps alive the accommodations of the “language” of the Order of Knights.
