The Acropolis of Rhodes is a historical site located in Rhodes Town, Greece. It is a magnificent fortress that stands on a hill overlooking the city and the sea. The Acropolis of Rhodes was built in the 3rd century BC by the ancient Greeks and was later expanded by the Knights of St. John in the 14th century.
The fortress is surrounded by high walls and towers, which were designed to protect the city from invaders. The walls are made of large stones and are several meters thick. The towers are strategically placed around the walls and offer a panoramic view of the city and the sea.
Inside the Acropolis of Rhodes, visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient Greek and medieval structures. The most prominent feature of the fortress is the Temple of Athena Polias, which was built in the 3rd century BC. The temple was dedicated to the goddess Athena and was considered the most important religious site in ancient Rhodes.
Other notable structures inside the Acropolis of Rhodes include the ancient stadium, the Odeon, and the Byzantine church of Agios Ioannis. The stadium was used for athletic competitions during the ancient Greek period, while the Odeon was a small theater used for musical performances. The Byzantine church of Agios Ioannis was built in the 11th century and is one of the oldest structures in the fortress.
Visitors to the Acropolis of Rhodes can also enjoy stunning views of the city and the sea from the top of the fortress. The hill on which the fortress stands is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city below.
