What it's like
The Palace of the Grand Master stands in the Old Town of Rhodes. The Knights Hospitaller raised it in the early 14th century as part of their fortified stronghold, and it is still called Castello by many people.
A visit is a walk through the palace halls, which now work as a museum. Many thousands of people come each year, so expect company in the main rooms. The site gives a clear look at how the Knights lived and built.
