Church of the Virgin of the Burgh Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

The ruins of this Gothic Roman Catholic church are inside the medieval town, near the Gate of the Virgin. The church dates from the 14th century and was most likely one of the first buildings erected by the knights. During the Turkish occupation of Rhodes, the Ottomans converted the church into a mosque. Not much remains today due to the bombings of World War II. Only the three apses and parts of the small chapel have survived. However, it is an important monument as there are few other Roman Catholic churches from this period left on the islands. Fun Fact: The name "Burgh" comes from the commoners (as opposed to the knights) who inhabited this part of town

Church of the Annunciation, Rhodes

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Annunciation of Virgin in Rhodes Town, Dodecanese: The Church of the Annunciation of Virgin is the most famous church in Rhodes Town. Located north of Mandraki, the old port of the town, this church was constructed in the 1920s, during the Italian occupation of the island. The design was based on the architectural design of the Medieval Gothic Church of Saint John, adjacent to the Palace of Grand Master in Rhodes Old Town.

Originally, this church was Catholic and served the Italian Catholic community till 1948, when Rhodes and the other Dodecanese islands were reunified with mainland Greece. This year, the church was turned into a Greek Orthodox Church and in fact, it was declared the Cathedral of Rhodes. Along with the necessary decorative reformations to turn a Catholic church into an Orthodox, interesting frescoes were also painted in the interior by the renowned Greek painter, Fotis Kontoglou.

The exterior design of the church has Gothic-style doors and windows, arches and high ceilings. A tall bell tower with a clock is located at the side entrance of the church, facing the harbor. The Church of the Annunciation celebrated on March 25th with a large religious festival.

Owl Fountain, Hippocrates Square

Highlight • Monument

The Ippokratou Square with its owl fountain and the many restaurants is an imposing square that you should definitely enter through the Thalassini Gate. From here, paths lead in all directions of the old town. There we ate a very good, award-winning ice cream, which is really recommendable :) (Enter through the gate mentioned, towards the fountain and then keep left)

We start our sightseeing tour at Mandraki harbor and stroll along the water to Elli Beach and the northernmost point of Rhodes. The Turkish southwest coast seems to be within reach from here.

Our next destination is Monte Smith Hill with the remains of an ancient acropolis.
