The beautiful Medieval Town of Rhodes, an alley of varied architectures from different times, was proclaimed UNESCO in 1998 as a World Heritage City. Walking through the narrow streets within her walls, you will see legends, myths and fairy tales with knights in front of your eyes.

The most remarkable monument since the domination of the Order of the Knights of St. John on the island of Rhodes, the Palace of the Grand Master is impressive and imposing as you ascend the Knights Street in the Medieval Town of Rhodes.

The palace was destroyed in 1856 following a strong gunpowder explosion and was rebuilt in 1940 by the Italians, who followed his original plans, and was the command and residence of the Italian governor.
