Saint Shadow
Discover the Fortress of Saint Nicholas in Medieval Town Of Rhodes
Considered to be one of the most beautiful Greek islands, Rhodes Island lies just seven mile off the Turkish coast. It offers a great climate, beautiful beaches and many interesting archaeological sites. It provides the tourists and visitors a chance to explore the ancient home of many civilizations including Knights of St. John, who played a main role in Crusades.
Rhodes old town on Rhodes Island, which now happens to be a part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, attracts tourists and visitors from all around the world. The imposing Saint Nicholas Fortress is sited in Old Town, Rhodes.
Location:
On the entrance to Mandraki harbour, there are statues of deer. At the harbour, three old windmills are found in the centre while the ancient St Nicholas Fortress stands on its north side.
The History of the Fortress:
The Mandraki harbour used to be the military harbour in ancient times. On order of the Grand Master Raimondo Zacosta, a guard tower for the central harbour of the old town was constructed in year 1464-67. The tower was built at a natural dockside where many windmills are located.
After the first military blockade of Rhodes this guard tower was upgraded to a small fortress. A bastion was constructed around the tower by Grand Master d’Aubusson turning it into a small fortress. There is a small chapel found in the fortress, from which it got its name.
Historical Significance:
The main purpose of constructing the Fortress of Saint Nicholas was to make the defence of the Rhodes Island effective and stronger. The Turkish attacks on the island from time to time were made ineffective by the fortress.
Saint Nicholas Fort of 15th century, found on waterfront of Mandraki harbour played a key role in defence and guard of Rhodes against the foreign attacks. Especially in the sieges of 1480 and 1522-23 the fortress played a key role in the defence of Rhodes Island.
Fortress of Saint Nicholas; Today:
The well preserved Saint Nicholas Fortress that stands today is one of the ancient structures from the medieval time. It serves as a great attraction for tourists that come from different parts of the world. The moat of the Saint Nicholas Fortress at the present, has trees and a walking path. There is also a Greek flag that flies high above the tallest parapet of the fort.
Very less part of the fortress is damaged and most is still intact. Within the fortress, there is a well built archway that leads to the beach and the docks from the old town. The main street of the fort goes ahead in the direction of the old town through the walls of the fort. The impressive structure is a very common subject for photography as well as for different documentaries on Rhodes Island.
To really enjoy your holidays on Rhodes Island, you must plan a thorough sightsee of the Rhodes old town and its historical sites. Rhodes Old Town is a place you should not miss to visit, it is 100 % on of the most interesting places on the Island of Rhodes.
