EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Castle of the Knights of St John in Lindos, Rhodes, a town and archaeological site on the eastern coast of the Greek island of Rhodes. The imposing fortress, a testament to history and architectural grandeur, was built over a Hellenistic and Roman Temple complex in the late 14th century by the Knights of St John. The Knights, also known as the Hospitallers or the Order of St John, were a medieval Christian military order, founded in Jerusalem in 1048, dedicated to the care of the sick and the protection of pilgrims. The Castle of the Knights of St John in Lindos was constructed to protect the island against attack by the Ottoman Empire, which was expanding its territories in the Mediterranean at the time. The fortress, with its impressive defences and strategic location, served as a crucial stronghold for the Knights, allowing them to withstand several sieges and maintain their presence on the island until 1522. The massive fortress, with its intricate design and imposing walls, stands proudly against the backdrop of the azure Aegean Sea, a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The castle's architecture reflects the influence of various empires and civilizations, from the Hellenistic and Roman to the Gothic and Renaissance styles. The Castle of the Knights of St John in Lindos is not only a historical site but also a symbol of the resilience and determination of the people who have inhabited this beautiful island for centuries. The fortress continues to attract visitors from all over the world, who come to marvel at its grandeur and learn about the fascinating history of the Knights of St John and the island of Rhodes.
