THE ACROPOLIS OF LINDOS
Lindos is in the south part of Rhodes, 50km from the city. On the top of the abrupt rock is the Acropolis. Reaching it is only by the north side. The south part of the hill is 116m above the level of the sea. Going up the slope, the visitor can see dedicated inscriptions to goddess Athena engraved, whose temple is inside the walls of Acropolis.
The temple of Lyndia Athena, which was built during the 4^th century BC, is visible from the sea, as it is located in the highest spot of the rock.
Looking from the Acropolis down to the cove you can see the church of Saint Paul. It is built in the spot where – according to tradition – the saint got off after a big tempest in the sea as he was going to Ierosolima.

MONOLITHOS’ CASTLE
It is one of the most powerful castles in Rhodes. It has a height of 237m and an impressive view to the sea. It was built around 1467 by the Great Magister D’ Aubusson on the remains of a Byzantine castle. The shield with its blazon is still in the castle’s gate. This castle stayed impenetrable despite the invasions by would-be conquerors.

It is located in the Municipal of Archagelos. The date of its construction stays unknown. When pirates were executed by the Knights of Saint John, they used it as a refuge. The Knights reinforced its walls. Today only these walls are saved.
