Rhodes is a Greek island situated in the south-eastern Aegean Sea, on the borders between two worlds, east and west. Rhodes Town, founded in 408 BC, lies on the northern tip of the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese.
The castle was built within the Old Town walls at the beginning of the 13th century AD by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, it consists of over 150 rooms (only a few are open to the public) and a conference room that often hosted summits for the European and world leaders. Today it attracts visitors from around the world as it houses the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes.
