Rhodes - Explore Old Town's Rich History

The Old City of Rhodes is surrounded by medieval walls with seven gates: Gate of the Naval Station, Gate of Agios Ioannis, Gate of Agia Ekaterini, Gate of the Apostle Paul, Gate of Amboise, Gate of Agios Athanassios and the Gate of the port.  To enter any of these gates is to enter another world where a handful of Knights were the last Christian holdouts in a part of the world that had become completely dominated bythe Ottoman Turks. The Medieval City was divided into three parts: the northern part included the Acropolis of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master while the southern part include Hora, were the commoners lived. The Jewish Quarter is the third section.
