*Rodos (Greek Ρόδος) is a city and port in Greece, in the north of Rhodes, on the coast of the Rhodes Strait of the Aegean Sea.

In Rhodes was the Colossus of Rhodes - one of the seven wonders of the world. Now tourists are attracted to the city of Rhodes fortress, erected during the Francoocracy as the headquarters of the Knight's Order of Hospitallers.

The fortress walls surrounding the city had a perimeter of 4 km and also had a moat, which in many sections was double. Fortifications included walls that protected the city from land, port walls and port pier walls. In general, the fortress had seven gates, one of which is the gate of St. Catherine or the gate of the Mills, the second name of which is due to the 14 mills standing on the pier.

 

It was here that merchant ships arriving at the port of Rhodes once unloaded grain.

Of the 14 mills, three have been perfectly preserved to this day and are today one of the most famous and popular local attractions, as well as an important architectural and historical monument.
