Acropolis of Lindos

Lindos Acropolis
Greece, Rhodes
The Acropolis of Lindos is located on a steep rock that has been fortified by nature itself. The area of ​​the Acropolis of Lindos is 8400 square meters. Here in the IV century BC. there was a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.

On the territory of the acropolis are both ancient and medieval buildings. Off to the side of the outer entrance is a small square built on underground cisterns, below the open side of a steep rock, on which a ship is carved to commemorate the victory of Rhodes in a naval battle in 180 BC. A steep flight of stairs leads to the gatehouse, which, together with the adjoining buildings (the commander's house and the castle chapel), was built by the Knights of the Order of St. John and was not destroyed by the excavators studying this ancient site.

Magnificent Lindos...It's impossible not to fall in love with him. A small town-settlement, spread out at the foot of a cliff crowned with an ancient acropolis. It is surrounded by two picturesque harbors. And the snow-white walls and roofs of low houses, narrow streets, reminiscent of a labyrinth from the myths of ancient Greece, will not leave anyone indifferent. The city is literally strewn with centuries-old cultural monuments. Here you can see the Temple of Athena Lindia mentioned by Homer and Herodotus, the chapels of the 14th century, and the acropolis itself - the residence of the knights of the Order of St.
