Rhodes New Town in Pictures |

| The modern town developed outside the walls of mediaeval Rhodes and throbs with the life and activity throughout the year.

Opposite, the small old harbor of Mandraki, stands the fort of Saint Nicholas. At the entrance to the harbor, atop tall columns, stand the two bronze deer - characteristic landmarks of the island. Here, according to tradition, was the place where the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, once stood. |
