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 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.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
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.
