Medieval City of Rhodes, Fortified medieval castle complex in Rhodes, Greece

The Medieval Town of Rhodes encompasses stone walls, Gothic structures, narrow streets, and defensive towers surrounding the Grand Master's Palace at its center point.

The Knights of St. John constructed the fortifications between 1309 and 1522, establishing Rhodes as their Mediterranean headquarters until Ottoman forces captured the city.

The Street of the Knights contains medieval inns representing different nationalities, reflecting the international character of the Knights who defended Rhodes.

Visitors can purchase a combined ticket to access multiple monuments including the Palace of the Grand Master, Archaeological Museum, and Church of Our Lady.

The medieval walls extend for 4 kilometers and include 11 gates, creating one of the largest preserved fortification systems from the Middle Ages.
