Rhodes - Town Walls

Two particularly impressive town walls in Rhodes are the Amboise Gate (with gardens and a deer park adjoining) built by Grand Master Aimeri d'Amboise in 1512, on northwest side of the town, and the Marine Gate (1468; relief of the Virgin) on the northeast side, by the Commercial Harbor. Visitors can take a fascinating walk round the old town on the walls, starting from the square in front of the Grand Master's Palace (entrance at Artillery Gate; open only for brief periods on certain days). A walk round the town outside the walls is also full of interest.
