Archaeological Museum of Rhodes

This guide to the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes traces the medieval hospital that once filled this Gothic ward, from Grand Master Jean de Lastic's first stone in 1440 through the ritual a sick pilgrim underwent before being shown to a bed. You'll hear how patients surrendered their clothes, their confession and their will to the Prior, and how infectious cases were led away to separate cells. It also follows a 1923 dig in a nearby governor's garden that brought a very different figure up out of the ground.
