Description: Built in the 14th century by the Knights of Rhodes, The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes boasts a tumultuous history. Occupied by the Knights from 1309 to 1522, the Palace fell into the hands of the Ottoman occupiers, then was mostly destroyed in 1856. It was restored and rebuilt by the Italians in the 1930s, served as a holiday residence for Mussolini, and now stands as an eclectic museum. Tour the stone halls, taking in the huge stone fireplaces and Greek statues, or learn about the rich archaeological history of Rhodes in the Palace’s basement museum.
