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. - Jonathon S, Rotherham
Greek Fortifications mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
The strong vertical lines and warm sunlit masonry give the composition structure and presence, making it well suited to interiors that appreciate historic architecture and Mediterranean character.
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. 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.
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. 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.
Taken while strolling along the moat, my photograph focuses on a large rounded tower near the medieval moat theater, standing quietly behind stretches of defensive wall. The sun brings out the soft tones in the stone and highlights the plants clinging to the cracks and ledges. The curved pathway gives the whole image flow, while the architecture keeps it grounded. A great choice for anyone who loves old-world structures and timeless textures.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.
