Train tour seemed interesting but we just walked around. Maybe if we had more time.
미니 열차 투어도 재미있어 보였는데 시간상 그냥 걸어서 둘러봤다.

The Church of the Virgin of the Burgh lies at the eastern edge of the Rhodes Old City, in the Jewish Quarter. The 14th century construction is one of the oldest remaining buildings from the era of the Knights of Hospitaller during medieval times. Its grand, original Gothic style remains impressive, even though it sadly suffered damage from bombing during World War II. Only three of the church’s apses have survived unharmed and, despite the heavy damage, it retains a strong spiritual air and you can often find painters and artists gathered there soaking up the inspiration in the air. It was considered to be the most important Catholic Church on Rhodes, but, following the extensive damage, is no longer used.
