After that, you have a guided tour in the medieval part of the city where many sights are maintained from the domination of Knights of Saint John. So, as you stroll in the historical center you can admire ancient buildings, towers, churches and the hospital of the knights’ times. One of the most remarkable visits is in the Grand Masters Palace, a medieval castle that it was built as byzantine church and nowadays functions as a museum with marvelous exhibits from ancient to byzantine period.
