The medieval town of Rhodes...
...monument of world cultural heritage.
In the medieval town of Rhodes, the city of the Knights of the Order of St. John, you feel that
time has stopped in another age. The Street of the Knights climbs to the Palace of the Grand Master,
strikingly
dominant. You follow the paved alleys, under gateways and colonnades, through squares and obscure courtyards, next to impregnable walls and Byzantine churches.
You feel that you are living in the troubled past of this place, but at the same time you discover
that this city, still inhabited, with its lively commercial activity, the Archaeological Museum, the Art Gallery,
the Museum of Folk Art and its night life, is very much alive in the present.
This fascinating
combination of yesterday and today charms visitors and brings home to them the uniqueness of the largest living
medieval town in Europe.
