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) [AllOverGreece]. Historical sources record that they were constructed by Genoese prisoners and formed part of a chain of about 18 windmills lining the harbour walls [AllOverGreece, Wikipedia]. 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 [Wikipedia]. 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.
