Archaeological Museum -Rhodes
It is housed in the medieval building of the large hospital of the Knights.
Its construction began in 1440 by the Grand Master de Lastic, with money left by his predecessor Fluvian upon his death, but it was concluded 49 years later by the Grand Master D' Aubusson.
It is a Gothic building with Renaissance elements. The building includes an indoor court, which is framed by a two-storey arcade. On the first floor there is the large patient room and the rooms of the modern archaeological collection.
The permanent collection of the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes consists of findings of excavations in Rhodes and the Dodecanese, such as sculptures, pots, jewelery, small items and coins from the Geometrical until the Hellenistic Period.
In the indoor court there is a sitting lion with a bull’s head on its feet, of a late Hellenistic period.
In the grand patient room, embossed tombstones and knights’ emblems are displayed. Kouroi, the tombstone of Krito and Timarista of the 5th century from Kamiros, the statue of the nude Aphrodite, the colossal head of Helios, the small statue of bathing Aphrodite, the Roman portrait of poet Menandros are included among the great sculptures of the collection.
At the garden of the Museum, large mosaics and two new collections are displayed: the epigraphic collection and the prehistoric collection, at the basement of the Villaragut and at the opposite building.

A Day in Rhodes Old Town (& Archaeology Museum)! - Sept 2017
In September, 2017 - Mrs Soup and I were lucky enough to go on holiday to the Greek island of Rhodes. Before we departed, I asked you guys for advice on things to do and places to see.
Due to various unforeseen circumstances, it's taken me a while to put this video together but...
Thanks for the tips! :D
Note:
These are most of the (relevant) photos and footage I took in Rhodes Old Town but my priority was relaxation not documentation, so it’s far from comprehensive!
There was SO MUCH MORE to see and do!
I had fun putting this together, hopefully you enjoy it too :)

Tower of St.Nicholas - Rhodes
Mandraki port was the war port of Rhodes throughout the Hellenistic and medieval era. St. Nicholas’ Tower stands on the north end of the ancient mole. The fortress was built in 1464-67 by Grand Master P. R. Zacosta. It comprises a central cylindrical tower with the relief of St Nicholas high up on the east side. After the first ottoman siege in 1480 the Grand Master P. d’Aubuson encircled it with a fosse and a polygonal bastion with external escarp. The tower was the object of vicious ottoman assaults during both sieges because of its important defensive position.
In 1496 the mole of St Nicholas had at least three windmills, which still stand today.
