This captivating photograph captures the essence of an era when the Knights of Saint John stood as noble protectors. From Malta's vibrant streets, adorned with flags from all nations, to Jerusalem's historic Enceinte de l'Hopital des Chevaliers-de-Saint-Jean on its southern coast, their legacy echoes through time. Alof de Wignacourt, a prominent figure in the early 17th century, is immortalized in a mysterious portrait dating back to 1908. His dedication and leadership paved the way for future generations. The artistic prowess of Bembo showcases his intricate work from 1470-1547. A testament to the knights' patronage of culture and art that still resonates today. Even Queen Victoria recognized their grandeur as guests donned magnificent costumes at her Bal Costume on May 12th, 1842. The knights' influence reached far beyond their strongholds. Venturing further into history brings us to Cyprus' majestic Castle of Kolossi; its balcony offering breathtaking views fit for these chivalrous defenders. Inside St Johns Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta lies a sanctuary where their spiritual devotion thrived. Rhodes stands proud with remnants from centuries past - witness a view captured in 1480 that transports you back to this pivotal moment etched within our collective memory. Finally, gaze upon the imposing Great Keep of Kolossi Castle; a symbol not only of military might but also resilience against adversity faced by these valiant knights throughout history. The old town Rhodes whispers tales untold as it preserves ancient secrets within its cobblestone streets. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since their heyday; the Knights of Saint John remain an indelible part of our shared heritage.
