Rhodes City is the principal city on the picturesque Greek island of Rhodes located in the southeastern Aegean Sea with rich history dating back to the Minoan era (16th century BC). The City of Rhodes as we know it today is mostly rooted in the Classical Era (5th Century BC), and has been an important center in the Mediterranean ever since.
The Island is perhaps best known as the fortified base of the Knights of Rhodes (also known as the Knights Hospitaller, or the Knights of Saint John). Originally founded in Jerusalem shortly after the first crusade, the Knights relocated to Rhodes in 1187 after the loss of Jerusalem. Overtime, they transformed into a military power renowned for their prowess in battle and naval warfare.The Knights constructed an impressive network of fortifications in Rhodes to protect their territory. The most famous of these fortifications is the imposing Citadel of Rhodes, which encompasses the fortified Old Town.
Today, the medieval city is a UNESCO world heritage site showcasing the legacy of the Knights. Taking a stroll along the Street of the Knights, you can still see the imposing medieval buildings that once housed the order's different langues (national groups). The most prominint structure in the Old Town is the Palace of the Grand Masters. Built by the Knights in the 14th century as the residence of the Grand Master, and as a fortress against invaders, today it houses a museum that offers insight into the island's history.
