Bring stunning panoramic photography into your space with this high-quality 15" x 5" Saint Nicholas Fortress print, designed for exceptional detail and longevity.
Printed on lustre photographic paper, it features a semi-matt finish with a subtle, speckled sheen that minimizes glare - ideal for bright rooms or spaces with direct lighting.
Includes a 1/4-inch white border for a refined, ready-to-frame presentation.
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.

Fantastic artwork, great service, from ordering to delivery
Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
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!
