Dominating the village from its towering rock, the Acropolis of Lindos is an archaeological treasure and a testament to centuries of Rhodian history. This ancient citadel offers not only fascinating ruins but also some of the most spectacular panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the coastline.
The history of the Acropolis of Lindos stretches back thousands of years, making it one of the most significant archaeological sites in Rhodes. It was continuously fortified by different powers throughout history due to its strategic position.
Its origins trace back to ancient times, serving as a powerful Greek city-state. The most prominent structure visible today is the Temple of Athena Lindia, dating back to the 4th century BC. This temple was a major religious center in the ancient world.
Later, the site was fortified by the Romans, Byzantines, and most notably, the Knights of St. John (in the 14th century), who built the impressive medieval walls and commandery that you see wrapping around the ancient ruins today.
This layered history, with ancient Greek temples nestled within a medieval fortress, makes the Acropolis of Lindos a unique archaeological marvel, offering a captivating journey through different eras of civilization on Rhodes.
