The Medieval City of Rhodes is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The city has been famous since antiquity as this is the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The medieval city of Rhodes is located on the northeastern tip of the island of Rhodes in Greece. It is on the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea. Today it has many interesting heritage sites such as the Grand Master's Palace, Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Rhodes Windmills, and the Acropolis of Rhodes.

Medieval City of Rhodes was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 12th session of the World Heritage Committee in Brasilia, Brazil, on 5-9 December, 1988.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
