The Palace of the Grand Master stands in the center of Rhodes Old Town. It marks the end of the famous Street of the Knights. The building rises with large towers, strong stone walls, and a grand arched entrance. 

Originally, the Knights of Saint John built it in the 14th century. Later, in the early 20th century, Italian rulers restored and rebuilt much of it. 

Moreover, the architecture impresses at first glance. Gothic arches, battlements, and thick walls give it a castle-like appearance. Inside, the halls feel both elegant and powerful. Marble floors stretch beneath Roman mosaics brought from Kos.

The Palace of the Grand Master contains several rooms open to visitors. The Hall of the Knights and the Throne Room display grandeur and historical importance. These areas once hosted official meetings, banquets, and ceremonies. 

Furthermore, several museum galleries sit within the palace. Exhibits include ancient statues, coins, pottery, armor, and manuscripts. Each section highlights a different period—from ancient Greece to the Crusader era and later Ottoman rule. 

The palace belongs to the UNESCO-listed Medieval City of Rhodes. Consequently, it makes a great starting point for touring the Old Town. Right outside the entrance, narrow alleys lead to more historical sites, shops, and cafés. The nearby Archaeological Museum and city walls are also worth visiting.

Access to the palace is simple. Visitors can walk from any part of the Old Town. Public buses stop near the main gates. Taxis also drop visitors off nearby. Entry tickets are available at the gate. Combined tickets often include access to other museums, offering good value. Opening hours vary by season, so checking ahead is useful.
