The Saint Nicholas Fortress stands at the northern tip of Mandraki Harbour's pier in Rhodes. Built between 1464 and 1467 by Grand Master Piero Raimondo Zacosta on the site of an earlier Byzantine church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, it guarded the military port and symbolised the island's coastal defence. After the 1480 Ottoman siege and a damaging earthquake in 1481, Grand Master Pierre d'Aubusson added a bastion to strengthen the structure. A lighthouse was installed on the tower in the 17th century; the current version was built by the French Ottoman Lighthouse Society in 1863 and is still in operation. Although visitors can't enter the interior, they can enjoy views from the viewing deck and walk the former moat trail framed by the windmills and the harbour's ships.
My photograph takes a close look at St Nicholas Fortress, showing the strong lines of the tower and the old stone walls. The lighthouse is still visible, sitting like a crown above the battlements. I like how the tighter framing brings more focus to the architecture and texture of the stone, while the blue sky keeps it feeling open and uncluttered. A strong, simple print with a timeless feel.

Looking for a striking canvas set but worried about fading, sagging, or poor-quality materials? This premium three-panel canvas set is designed to solve these common frustrations, offering museum-grade quality that lasts a lifetime.
Each canvas starts with a 12-colour Giclée print on finely textured 400gsm artist-grade 100% cotton canvas, ensuring every detail is reproduced with outstanding clarity, rich colours, and deep contrast. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these canvases resist fading with a 100-year colour guarantee, so your artwork stays vibrant for decades.
Framed with European kiln-dried knotless pine, the canvas frames are built for strength and durability. A curved profile design minimises contact with the canvas face, preventing unwanted impression marks or surface cracking. Finger-jointed corners provide natural tension, helping to resist warping over time. For larger sizes, discreet wooden wedges are included, ensuring the canvas stays taut and allowing for easy re-stretching in future years if needed.
Each piece is hand-finished by experienced framers, ensuring perfectly smooth, tight folds on every corner. The 38mm deep frame adds a gallery-style presence to your space, while the three edge finish options - black, white, or image wrap - allow you to tailor the look to suit your style.
With effortless elegance and unmatched craftsmanship, these canvases are ready to hang, built to last, and designed to impress. Transform your space with art that stays as stunning as the day you bought it.

Avoid wet or abrasive cleaning products. Do Not Press or Scrub - The surface of the canvas is delicate. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or scrubbing motions, as this may damage the print.
