Church of Our Lady of the Castle (Enterum Mosque) (Rodos)

Greece / Dodekanisos / Rydos / Rodos

Church of Our Lady of the Castle, which was the Knights' Cathedral. It stands at the beginning of the Street of the Knights. In 1523, the Turks converted the church into a mosque (the Enterum Mosque) and the bell-tower, which no longer stands, became a minaret. The interior, however, was left as it was. It is possible that the original structure of the church was Byzantine; estimates of its age range from the 11th to the 13th century.
Nowadays houses the Byzantine Museum of Rhodes.
