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 [AllOverGreece]. After the 1480 Ottoman siege and a damaging earthquake in 1481, Grand Master Pierre d’Aubusson added a bastion to strengthen the structure [Wikipedia]. 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 [AllOverGreece]. 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 [Rodos Guide].
My photograph shows the fortress reaching out into the water, with the sea on one side and a bold blue sky above. The wide angle lets you see the structure in context - stone against sea, with the lighthouse sitting calmly on top. It’s a peaceful but powerful scene, ideal if you're drawn to coastal prints with a bit of historical weight.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
Brilliant! My print is beautiful. I initially ordered the wrong product due to my own error but Carol was so supportive and helpful I cannot recommend her/this company enough.
The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
