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. It is full of surprising contrasts: modern blocks of flats, wide streets, squares, a multitude of shops ... and among all these, an important number of buildings, where the venetian, Gothic and Arabic elements blend.

Around the port, the Mandraki, we find the imposing buildings in neo-colonial and Italianate style, which lend grandeur to this part of the present-day town.

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.
