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 isolates the last two windmills in the row, with one taking centre stage and the second further behind. The clear sky and glowing stone make it feel fresh and still, like a quiet afternoon at the edge of the island. A great piece for anyone who appreciates simple, natural scenes with a timeless quality.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Excellent Print arrived - High Quality - Very professional - Correspondence with Carol was helpful & informative. Would highly recommend Realworldart.
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!
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 attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
