Street of the Knights : info and guided tour

Overview of the Street of the Knights

The Street of the Knights is located in the old town of Rhodes, close to the Palace of the Grand Master. This cobbled street links several medieval buildings and preserves a layout associated with the era of the Knights Hospitaller. Its atmosphere is defined by the line of stone façades and the visual consistency of its historic buildings.

The route follows a narrow lane lined with houses and residences in a Gothic style, whose restrained proportions recall the layout of an old administrative and residential district. Together, they offer a clear view of Rhodes’ medieval urban planning in an area where the architecture has retained a strong visual unity.

The street is one of the most emblematic parts of the cultural monument that is the old town, recognized for its historic heritage. It shows how the knightly orders shaped the urban space, with a succession of buildings that reflect official, residential, and representative functions.

At Ippoton 1-9, the Street of the Knights is a major landmark for understanding the historic center of Rhodes. Its appeal lies as much in its state of preservation as in its place within an ancient urban fabric, where the stonework, openings, and volumes tell the story of the site’s continuity.
