he Naval Dockyard
By the end of the 15th, beginning of the 16th century, the Naval dockyard and Arsenal of the Knights was installed at the northwest edge of the Collachium. The function of the area though was altered during the Turkish and later the Italian occupation. Only one of the magazines which rested against the northeast section of the rampart still exists and bears the coat – of – arms of Grant Masters.

The Buildings of the City

astellania
At the northeast edge of Ippokratous Square stands one of the most beautiful monuments in Rhodes, the “Kastellania” that homes the Historical and the Folklore Archive of the Dodecanese and the public Library.

dmiralty
On the north side of the Square of the Jewish Martyrs stands a two - storeyed building which is every bit as lovely as the ‘inn” of the “tongue” of France and the “Kastellania”. The traveler Rottiers, who was the first to describe and illustrate it in his lithographs, erroneously called it the “Admiralty”. It has been suggested that it was in fact the residence of the Unitist Metropolitan of Rhodes. The building is dated to the late 15th, early 16th century.

indmills
Among the buildings of vital importance to the functioning of Medieval Rhodes were the windmills, which surround the city and stand on the two harbour moles. They are cylindrical structures with isodomic masonry and had a conical, movable timber roof, which the miller could turn in the direction of the prevailing wind. The mills were for grinding wheat, though it is possible that some were used to preparing gunpowder.
