The changing role of historic town of Rhodes in the scenario

Rhodes' historic town underwent significant shifts in symbolic and geographic significance, reflecting changes in urban and architectural evolution under Ottoman and Italian rule. Iconography until the twentieth century reveals a transition from a medieval stronghold to a travel destination, marked by the search for medieval souvenirs and a new attitude towards built heritage. The study traces how Turkish and Italian ideologies and practices influenced this transformation, highlighting the city's evolving role in historical narratives.
