D'Amboise gate - a photo on Flickriver

D'Amboise gate

            The recent devastating fires on the Rhodes island (and elsewhere in Southern Europe) made me think back to my old trip to Rhodes.  Even though I have not visited the areas affected by the fires.  This is my first experiment in uploading scanned images; it would be another year before I switched to digital.

Medieval City of Rhodes is a UNESCO Heritage Site.  It boasts very well preserved city walls and many of the impressive buildings constructed by the Knights Hospitaller of St. John when they held the island from 1310 to 1522.  Compared to Malta, which was the next base for the knights, Rhodes is more rugged and gritty - and, yes, older.  The D'Amboise gate (named after the Grand Master who completed the gate in 1512 in the anticipation of an Ottoman assault) is the most sophisticated part of the city walls.
