EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Clock Tower and the ancient ruins of the Church of St. John in the historic heart of Rhodes, Greece. Dating back to circa 1903, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of the island and its connection to the Order of Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Rhodes and Malta. The Clock Tower, an iconic landmark of Rhodes Old Town, stands proudly in the background. Its intricate architecture and ornate clock face have made it a symbol of the island's cultural heritage. However, the focus of this photograph is the ancient Church of St. John, whose ruins lie in the foreground. This church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was built during the Crusader period and later served as the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller. The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of St. John, were a medieval Christian military order, founded in Jerusalem in 1048. They were renowned for their role in caring for the sick and wounded during the Crusades. In 1309, the Order was expelled from Jerusalem and sought refuge on the island of Rhodes, where they established a powerful and prosperous kingdom that lasted until 1522. The ruins of the Church of St. John serve as a reminder of the island's significant role in the history of the Order. The connection between Rhodes and the Order of St. John is deeply rooted in history, and this photograph encapsulates the essence of that connection. The Clock Tower, a symbol of Rhodes' modern-day charm, stands in stark contrast to the ancient ruins of the Church of St. John, reminding us of the island's complex and fascinating past.
