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. After the 1480 Ottoman siege and a damaging earthquake in 1481, Grand Master Pierre d'Aubusson added a bastion to strengthen the structure. 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. 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.
My photograph shows the fortress reaching out into the water, with the sea on one side and a bold blue sky above. The wide angle lets you see the structure in context - stone against sea, with the lighthouse sitting calmly on top. It's a peaceful but powerful scene, ideal if you're drawn to coastal prints with a bit of historical weight.

Framed poster prints are often chosen for their simplicity, but low-quality paper, flimsy frames, and awkward self-framing can quickly ruin the result. This framed poster print is designed to avoid those compromises, offering a well-made, ready-to-hang solution that looks good and lasts.
Printed on premium 170gsm semi-gloss paper, the poster delivers strong colour reproduction with a subtle shine that enhances detail without overpowering the image. The semi-gloss finish improves vibrancy while offering increased resistance to light and moisture compared to standard poster papers, helping the artwork retain its appearance over time. All paper used is FSC-certified or equivalent, supporting responsible sourcing.
The solid pine wood frame provides a sturdy, clean-lined presentation without unnecessary bulk. Available in black, white, natural wood or dark brown, each frame features a smooth or natural grain finish depending on colour choice. With a profile measuring approximately 20 to 25mm thick and 10 to 14mm wide, the frame offers a balanced look that works well for framed posters in both home and office spaces.
Each framed poster is protected with shatterproof plexiglass, a lightweight alternative to traditional glass that offers clear visibility while reducing the risk of damage during handling or display. The surface is easy to clean and helps protect the poster from everyday wear.
Supplied with a hanging kit and ready to hang on arrival, this rhodes sea fortress framed poster print is a straightforward way to add framed wall art to your space.

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 customer service from the start with an easy website to navigate. Unfortunately when my order arrived the print was damaged, contacted Carol who sent another out for me straight away and kept me updated along the way. Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you
