To Thoroughly Visit the Castle of Rhodes, One Day May Not Be Enough... Hence Here Some Explanations About the History of this Monument : the Threat of Phillip Iv Gave the Order a New Impetus for Structural Reform : the Order Had Been Divided Up Into Seven Separate 'langues' or 鈥渢ongues鈥 (those Speaking the Same Tongue). Each 'langue' or 'tongue' Comprised of Several Priories Under a Grand Priory with Its Own 'auberge' (hall of Residence) and They Were Later to Become Responsible for the Defense of Their Own Part of the Town and Walls. These 鈥榣angues鈥 Were Made from the Following Countries: France, Auvergne, Provence, England, Italy, Germany and Spain with the Later Addition of Castile. the Total Strength of the Knights Was Usually Around 200. in 1466 Their Numbers Were to Rise to 350 and in 1501 to 400. Finally in 1514 the Total Number Was 550, But English Numbers Was Never to Exceed More Than a Dozen Knights. Despite this Disparity in Numbers Between the 'tongues', the System On the Whole Worked Well, Apart from the Occasional Squabble Over Precedence Some of the Grand Priory have Today Become Consulates (such as France) Who Propose Very Interesting Exhibitions. to Enjoy a General View Over the Old Town, We Propose You Take the City Bus or Train Tour Departing Every Hour Opposite the Colona Port.
