Rhodes Town |
It is the capital and occupies the northernmost tip of the island.
There are actually three cities on this site -modern, ancient and medieval.
The modern town has a cosmopolitan character, many late 20th century buildings and hotels.
The ancient town, which was founded in 408 B.C., started from Monte Smith hill where the acropolis stood and extended as far as what is now the medieval city .
The medieval city is still surrounded by the high walls erected by the Knights.
It is divided by an inner wall into two unequal parts, the smaller Collachio and the larger Burgo or Hora.
