Old town Rhodes

The Old Town of Rhodes is a bustling
neighborhood of some 6,000 people, who live and work in the same
buildings in which the Knights of St. John lived six centuries ago; as
a living monument to the past it must be nearly unique in Europe, if
not the world. Even the visitor whose stay in Rhodes is for no more
than a few hours should not neglect to walk around it.
The Old Town continues today to be divided into the two parts which
made it up in the time of the Knights: the northern part, which was
the internal fortress of the Knights, known as the
Castello, and which
contained the official buildings; and the larger southern part, called
the
Chora, where the Greeks, the Europeans who were not members of the
Order and the Jews lived. These two parts of the town were separated
by a wall running approximately parallel to the line of
Sokratous street, the old Bazaar. During
the years of Turkish occupation, the Greeks were expelled from the Old
Town, which was the exclusive province of Turks and Jews. Greeks were
allowed to enter only during daytime and those who were caught in the
old town after dark were liable to be beheaded.
