Today we visited the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights. We also checked out a portion of the moat that surrounds the old town, running between the inner and outer walls. And then we walked through three of the eleven gates that pierce the city wall.

Rhodes Town, or Rdos, as the locals call it, (Fodors page 1093)
No map can do justice to what a labyrinth it all is, or quite how much is missing; mysterious ruins lie half-buried, overrun with cats or wild flowers, while isolated Cyclopean arches suddenly rear into view, without a trace of the buildings they used to hold up. Rough Guide
