The lodges are still in operation today and either house public services or host cultural events.

At the end of the road, on the right side you will see the Archaeological Museum which functioned in the Middle Ages as a hospital for knights. There is still a room there, which was used as a treatment area for wounded knights.

The entrance of the port consists of 2 columns on which are the statues of a male and a female deer, which are symbols of the city. According to legend, there was also one of the seven wonders of the world, the Colossus of Rhodes, which also symbolized the sun god.

On the opposite side is the Fortress of Agios Nikolas that protected the city from enemies. According to history, the coveted island of Rhodes, also known as the "emerald island", with its beautiful green vegetation, was the jewel of the Aegean, a trophy that many peoples tried to conquer.
