The castle of Rhodes (which actually is a complete medieval city surrounded to this day by walls) is one of the best-preserved and most historical castles of the world.
It took its current form mostly in the period when the knights of the Order of Saint John occupied the island, from 1309 until 1522. Among other things, it was the location where two of the most important sieges of the world history took place, in 305 BC and in 1522.

There was a watchtower on the rock since antiquity and later a Byzantine castle. The castle was rebuilt in the 15th century by the knights of the Order of Saint John who occupied the island since 1309.
The reconstruction was done around 1476, when Grand Master of the Order was D’ Aubusson (1476-1503). His shield is carved above the gate of the castle.
It used to be one of the 4 strongest castles of Rhodes in the Ioannite period.
Nothing more is known about the history of the castle. It is certain that it passed under the control of the Turks after 1522, when the knights left the island. We can also assume that sometime, maybe in the 17th century, when piracy was no longer a major threat, it lost its significance and -being rather uncomfortable- was gradually abandoned.

A historic village with a sad history can be found about 40 kilometers away from the city of Rhodes. A village that associated its name with illness and death when in 1947 it operated just beyond its central square the place where the Rodites trembled: The Sanatorium of the Dodecanese.
The history of the village "Agia Eleousa" begins several decades before the transfer of tuberculosis to its lands. It started as an Italian colony on the model of the forest villages of the Italian Alps known as "Campochiaro" which was built in 1935 at the foot of the mountain of Prophet Elias, at an altitude of 270 meters, by the Italians who at that time had the island in full control.
It bears the signature of Governor Mario Lago, who proceeded during its creation during the Italian occupation
