The palace is preserved in excellent condition, so it's a great attraction . The first floor has a walk through the rooms, but most of them are striped of the furniture .

Evren Akgül

Fascinating place with intact architecture . Used as prison during Ottoman era. Admission fee is 6 EUR but it's worth every penny. Classic knight building.

Guido Gybels

Interesting and somewhat eclectic mix of different periods. Visit both upstairs as well as the ground floor exhibition . Afterwards, get tickets for the old town wall walk.

Fatih Kuran

This is the landmark worth to be seen when you are visiting Rhodes. Rhodes knights were very influential in 14th and 15th century. This place was their headquarter

Nur Doğanay

The most amazing palace I’ve visited . You should visit it absolutely !

Niki Kantere

It is an epic historic place! Everyone should visit it at least once!

Io As Soon

When the Kingdom of Italy occupied Rhodes in 1912, the Italians rebuilt this great palace in a grandiose pseudo-medieval style as a holiday residence for Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.. Read more

Nikolai Stulov

The castle 's awesome, looks great for its age. I recommend visiting the road of knights and archeological museum .

Thomas Brennan

Not just a palace , great museum inside as well with easy to follow history of the island .

Aria di Rodi

Don't lose the cultural program of the palace ! Ask for the events ! September is always the best month!

Lamprianos Lamprianidis

The biggest attraction of the city . But fee is too expensive (6€) there is no Guide to inform you and when you ask something there is a chance they don't know the answer. Some exhibits had no label in

Sandra Vulović

Dont miss this attraction in Old town Rhodes and explore how was life back then :)

Konstantinos Kouimtzis

Very beautiful

The palace was first built by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem on the site of the 7th c. Byzantine fortress in order to be the official residence of the Grand Master of their order. Read more

Palace itself is nice to see, but some info tables and audio guides would have been handy.

Şövalyeler sarayı gezmek lazim, müthiş rodos ta buna vakit ayırmak gerek bende çok gezemedim, mutlaka gezmeli içini. Rodosta eski old town müthiş, tavsiye ederim her köşesini

Maxim GR

Замок очень хорошо сохранился, в нем есть 2 музея , в одном из них запрещено фотографировать. Можно пройтись по покоям замка , посмотреть мозайки в помещениях . Вход 6€. Не забывайте поглядывать в окна 😉

Anastasia

Можно попасть на концерт живой музыки после 20-00. Что может быть лучше настоящих средневековых декораций?) мрачный таинственный замок и потрясающая гитара;)

Aleksei Smirnov

Вход платный. Внутри не столь пышное убранство , но здесь хранятся мозаики, которые вывезли с острова Кос. Дворец - сердце старого города , обязательно стоит посетить.

Alper UNGOR

Duvarları, içinde kullanılan eşyaları, yer mozaikleri ve çok daha fazlasıyla gayet iyi korunmuş bir Saray . Giriş ücreti 6 Euro. En fazla 1 saatte tamamını gezersiniz.

simone facchi

Uno dei siti da visitare assolutamente , sede del comandante dei cavalieri di San giovanni

Dogan Gurer

Rodos sovalyelerinin Osmanlilarin tabiriyle ustad-i azaminin sarayi. Ust katlardaki saray salonlari ve alt kattaki arkeolojik koleksyon sergisi cok guzel.

massimo matricini

una tappa importante nel giro di rodi città vecchia. il palazzo dei cavalieri per il suo valore storico e la sua bellezza è imperdibile!

Ersoy Özdem

Sarayı görür görmez, bir Ortaçağ film setine girmiş gibi oluyorsunuz. Rodos'a sadece denize girmek için gidilmeyeceğinin kanıtı.

Sasha Perec

Пустынные залы с огромными потолками на 2 этаже впечатляют даже тех, кто из Петербурга😋👍

Dorukcan Akincioglu

Harika bir yer rodosta kesinlikle görülmeli

Bahadır Tanrıseven

Rodosta gezilmesi gereken öncelikli yerlerden biri. Harika korunmuş bir kale .

Daria

Классное место. Подойдёт тем, кто любит историю

Pandora Pa

Εξαιρετικό και ενδιαφέρον. Αξίζει την επίσκεψη.

Mert Karagüler

Muhteşem bir yer kesinlikle gorulmeli

A. Çavuşoğlu

Ne yazık ki gezdiğim en boş müze , tapınak şovalyelerine ait hiçbirşey yok ve içerde tek görebileceğiniz kos adasından taşınmış mozaikler . Bu bina İtalyanlar tarafından 1930da yapılmıştır.

Zeynep Altınordu

Müthiş. En iyi renove edilmiş kalelerden biri🏰🏰

George Lof

Too shame that they dont explain what we see. Για τους Ελληνες επρεπε να ειναι δωρεαν η με συμβολικο εισιτηριο.
