Bastion of Saint George

The Bastion of St. George is the most sophisticated fortification work built by the Knights of St. John on Rhodes. It was built between 1421 and 1431 and improved upon in the mid-16th century, probably according to plans drawn up by the famous engineer Basilio dalla Scuola. It covered one of the main gates in the land wall leading from the rural area directly to the marketplace.
