Castle that was restored in 1940 by the Italians and houses museums of ancient and medieval Rhodes.Take a walk through the palace rooms where you’ll be transported in a different era of royalty. The Palace of the Grand Master perched on top of Street of the Knights is a gigantic stronghold with a triple circuit of walls defending it sitting in Old Town’s highest point. This was erected on the location of the older Byzantine fortress (7th century AD). It was constructed by Knights Hospitaller or Knights of St. John (at the beginning of the 14th century), the Catholic military order that was the ruler of island from years 1309 to 1522. The Street of the Knights: there, each of the languages had its own inn (also called “auberge” or “palatial residence”). You will discover the Inn of the Tongue of France, or the Inn of the Tongue of England for example. The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes is located in the medieval Hospital of the Knights. There, you will find many ancient objects found in Rhodes and the other Dodecanese Islands. The Roloi Clock Tower, to admire a beautiful view over the Old City from the top. The Byzantine Art Museum and its many frescoes and icons from the Byzantine period. The Churches of Agia Triada and Agia Aikaterini. The Suleman Mosque, built during the Turkish occupation of Rhodes.

This is an absolut must! It is one of the best-renovated medieval castles in Europe. Just walking in and around it immerses you in the history of this place through the centuries. The scenery around the castle is stunning, and when you finish walking around you will be rewarded by lots of great cafes and restaurants around it. Preferably avoid during the hottest hours (12-4 pm) in the summer months.
