Medieval Clock Tower

This guide to the Medieval Clock Tower in Rhodes opens during the 1522 siege, when the Knights of Saint John packed the cellars of their own church with gunpowder, and traces how that powder sat forgotten for more than three centuries. You'll hear what a storm over the old town in 1856 finally did to it, and how this tower itself was shaken loose and rebuilt in the years around that disaster. It closes looking out toward the rebuilt Grand Master's Palace still standing on the same ground.
