Medieval City of Rhodes

This guide to the Medieval City of Rhodes traces the vast curtain wall the Knights Hospitaller built around the old town between 1309 and 1465, with each nation's Langue maintaining its own stretch of stone. You'll hear about the anonymous masons whose only signature is the chisel marks still cut into the blocks, and how the wall held through a siege in 1480 before an Ottoman army settled in for six months in 1522. Run your palm along the stone as you walk and you can still feel the grooves those hands left behind.
