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 [AllOverGreece]. After the 1480 Ottoman siege and a damaging earthquake in 1481, Grand Master Pierre d’Aubusson added a bastion to strengthen the structure [Wikipedia]. 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 [AllOverGreece]. 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 [Rodos Guide].
My photograph takes a close look at St Nicholas Fortress, showing the strong lines of the tower and the old stone walls. The lighthouse is still visible, sitting like a crown above the battlements. I like how the tighter framing brings more focus to the architecture and texture of the stone, while the blue sky keeps it feeling open and uncluttered. A strong, simple print with a timeless feel.

Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
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.
Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
Fantastic artwork, great service, from ordering to delivery
