The three surviving stone windmills on the eastern mole of Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes date from the 14th century and were built during the rule of Grand Master Diedoné de Gozon (1346-1353). Historical sources record that they were constructed by Genoese prisoners and formed part of a chain of about 18 windmills lining the harbour walls. Their primary purpose was to grind grain unloaded from merchant vessels, which was then stored in warehouses inside the fortified town. The line of mills extended towards the medieval Fort of St Nicholas, completed in 1464, which guarded the harbour entrance. Over the centuries, storms, neglect, and changes in shipping reduced their number to three, which have since been restored. Today they stand as an enduring reminder of the island's maritime trade and the engineering skill of the Knights Hospitaller.
Photographing the harbour on a hot afternoon, my image brings the foremost windmill into sharp focus, with two others sitting just behind it in softer light. The layers of perspective create a sense of depth and rhythm, while the golden tones of the late sun give the stone a warm, earthy feel. It's a balanced composition that feels both grounded and airy.
