Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi, Medieval palace at Forum of Augustus, Rome, Italy
The House of Knights of Rhodes stands within ancient Roman walls, featuring a five-arched loggia overlooking the Imperial Forums and marble decorations throughout its structure.
Built in the 9th century as a monastery, the palace became headquarters of the Knights of St. John in 1230 and underwent major renovations under Cardinal Marco Barbo in 1466.
The palace contains multiple decorated chambers, including the Hall of Honor, Byzantine Hall, and Sala della Loggetta, displaying Renaissance frescoes and wooden ceiling ornaments.
Visits require advance reservations through the Rome tourist office, with groups limited to 25 people, including access to the Palatine Chapel of St. John the Baptist.
The structure incorporates elements from ancient Roman architecture, with walls built directly upon ruins of the Forum of Augustus dating to the first century BCE.
