Sea Gate of Rhodes

The Sea Gate (Porta Marina) stands on the northern side of the Old Town of Rhodes, right next to Hippocrates Square. It truly resembles a small stone castle: a massive square tower with a crenellated roof, two powerful round towers on the sides, and a deep arched passage between them. The entire structure is built of large grey stone, in places overgrown with moss, and looks as if it has just been recaptured from an enemy. You can see at once: this is not just a gate, but a full-fledged fortress outpost.
