The old town and castle of Rhodes - my entry to the #monomad challenge

paean in #hive-142159 • 3 years ago

Hello to all

This is my first post in this community and with this post i participate to the #monomad challenge by @monochromes

On a previous trip to the Greek island of Rhodes I had the opportunity to visit the
old town or medieval city

a place with a history dating back to 1300 - 1500
when the Knights of St. John occupied the island and turned part of it into a fortress

They built this Gothic castle-fortress surrounded by 4 km long medieval walls with seven different gates,in order to protect themselves from the Ottoman invasion

It managed to protect them for several years but unfortunately not forever, finally falling in 1522 after a six-month siege

Nowadays it mainly function as a great monument for visitors and tourists who wish to walk along those old paths once walked by the knights

Medieval clock tower (Roloi)

except from the castle and the walls, this large area is not called a city by chance,
thanks to the fact that it consists of many tourist shops to buy souvenirs,restaurants to eat or café-bars to have a nice time and enjoy the place

All photos are my property and have been taken during a past trip to the island of Rhodes

5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem
