An illustrated history of the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller, repeatedly besieged during the Crusades.
First besieged in 305 BC, the island of Rhodes became part of the Roman Empire and was later fortified in the Byzantine style. Due to its strategic position in the Mediterranean, Rhodes was also attacked and besieged for over a century by Islamic forces.
This book details the development of these fascinating fortifications, as well as the sieges that sought to reduce them.
