Filerimos Monastery

This guide to Filerimos Monastery in Rhodes starts with a stone archway that looks medieval but isn't, then points out the pale marble blocks worked into the walls, salvaged from a temple of Athena that stood on this hilltop over two thousand years ago. It traces the site through church after church built on the same foundations, and the Knights of Saint John's Gothic monastery that later collapsed into ruin before Italy's colonial administration rebuilt it in 1931. Look closely at the walls for those older, paler blocks among the darker stone.
