Rhodes old town; the Knights Templar castle
Follow @KnightsTempOrgThe Knights occupied Rhodes from 1309 to 1523 and set about transforming the city into a stronghold and fortress surrounded by an outer wall, a moat, an inner wall, and the old city.

In the Lower Town, Gothic architecture coexists with mosques, public baths and other buildings dating from the Ottoman occupation period.
