The Virgin of the Castle Church (Panagia tou Kastrou), one of the major buildings
of the old town of
Rhodes.
Situated at the beginning of the Knights Street, it houses the Byzantine Museum
of
Rodos.
Built at the early 11th century A.D, its architectural structure has a cross-shaped
base surmounted by a dome, with the western arm of the cross longer than the
other ones. Until 1309, when the island was given to the Order of the Knights
of St. John of Jerusalem, it was the Byzantine cathedral of
Rhodes.
It was later turned into the Roman Catholic cathedral, an event also mentioned
in a Papal bull of 1322.
