Palace of the Grand Master of Knights

The Palace of the Grand Master, the administrative center of the Order of the Knights of Saint John, is probably the most significant monument of the medieval history of Rhodes and its occupation by the Knights. It was restored during the Italian occupation (the 1930s) with its first floor boasting a remarkable collection of mosaic floors from the island’s monuments and a collection of medieval furniture, while, on the ground floor, the two permanent exhibitions offer valuable insights into the history of the city of Rhodes, from its founding in 408 BC until its conquest by the Ottomans in 1522.
