Rhodes - Old Town

Immediately south of Symi Square lies picturesque Aryirokástro Square, in the center of which is a small fountain constructed from fragments of a Byzantine baptistery.

On the west side of the square is the former Arsenal (14th century), now housing the Archeological Institute and the Museum of Decorative Art. A passage leads through to the former church of the Order of St John (on the left), now the Museum of Early Christian and Byzantine Art.

On the west side of the old town of Rhodes, near St George's Tower, stands the Hurmale Medrese, originally the Byzantine church of the Redeemer, with a picturesque inner courtyard.

In Symi Square are the remains of a temple of Aphrodite (third century B.C.) and the Municipal Art Gallery (modern art).
