Fortification from the medieval times - Rhodes - Jul 2024
Fortifications of Rhodes的点评
点评：I know, I know - is already the summer of 2025 and I'm still writing about the summer past - truth be told I'm behind with my reviews - big time.
So here it is - the Fortification of Rhodes.
What can be seen today is what have remained - mostly - from the fortification that were erected by the knights of St. John over the existing Byzantine fortifications - modified , incorporating those, strengthening and rebuilding where it was necessary during the period they've ruled the island of Rhodes ( between 1310 and 1522).
Now for sure a lot of fortifications from the medieval times - like fortified cities have disappeared , in Rhodes is not the case , those were preserved after the ottoman conquest rebuilt ( here and there expanded) because the ottomans needed those walls too.
As per today it is one best preserved sites in the world - no wonder it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
When in Rhodes you can have a tour of the fortifications , or you can do it by yourself simply by walking around the city walls, sometimes in the moat ( that is dry and lost its original functionality ) and you can think back to the engineering skills of the Knights of St. John dating back to at least 6 centuries ( and even more).
So when in Rhodes, if you are interested in medieval history and engineering for city defenses, the fortifications are a great starting point for the historical immersion.

翻译：我知道，我知道——已经是2025年的夏天了，而我还在写关于过去夏天的事情——说实话，我的评论已经落后了——远远落后了。
所以，这就是——罗得岛防御工事。
今天我们能看到的，大部分是圣约翰骑士在现存的拜占庭防御工事上修建的——在他们统治罗得岛期间（1310年至1522年），他们对其进行了修改、整合、加固和重建，这些都是必要的。
现在，可以肯定的是，许多中世纪的防御工事——比如设防城市——已经消失了，但在罗得岛却不是这样，那些城市是在奥斯曼帝国征服后重建（并进行了部分扩建）后才得以保留下来的，因为奥斯曼帝国也需要这些城墙。
就目前而言，它是世界上保存最完好的遗址之一——难怪它被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产。
在罗得岛，您可以参观防御工事，也可以自己沿着城墙漫步，有时还可以走进护城河（现在已经干涸，失去了原有的功能），感受圣约翰骑士团至少六个世纪（甚至更久）的工程技艺。
所以，如果您对中世纪历史和城市防御工程感兴趣，那么在罗得岛，防御工事是开启一段历史之旅的绝佳起点。
