Today we visited the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights. We also checked out a portion of the moat that surrounds the old town, a water-less depression situated between the inner and outer walls of the old town. And then we walked through three of the eleven gates that pierce the city wall.
Also known as the Kastello, the palace was originally built in the late 7th century as a Byzantine citadel. It has been fought over, shaken down by earthquakes, blown up, destroyed, and re-built over the course of its long life.
