The medieval walls that encircle Rhodes Old Town stretch roughly 4 km and were constructed over several centuries, starting in antiquity and substantially rebuilt by the Knights Hospitaller between about 1457 and 1465 under Grand Master Antonio Fluvian de Riviere (Rodos Guide). They were erected upon earlier Byzantine fortifications that had survived the siege of Demetrius Poliorcetes in 305 BC and were rebuilt following the earthquake of 226 BC (Wikipedia).
By the late medieval period, the walls boasted 11 gates - including Gate d’Amboise (completed in 1512 under Grand Master Emery d’Amboise), the St Athanasius Gate (1441-1442), and Marine Gate - alongside numerous bastions and towers assigned to different knightly “langues” of the Order (Rodos Guide, Wikipedia). The walls withstood Mamluk attacks in 1444 and a massive Ottoman siege in 1480 before finally falling in 1522 after a sustained six-month campaign (Rodos Guide, Wikipedia).
Taken while strolling along the moat, I thought the central archway in this photograph is like a gateway into the past. Scattered around the base are large carved stone spheres – thought to be old cannonballs – adding texture and intrigue to the scene. The symmetry of the path, stones and walls makes it feel almost theatrical. If you love architectural prints with a bit of mystery, this one’s got plenty to offer.

Excellent Print arrived - High Quality - Very professional - Correspondence with Carol was helpful & informative. Would highly recommend Realworldart.
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.
Fantastic artwork, great service, from ordering to delivery
Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
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.
