The palace was built in the early 14th century by the Knights of Rhodes, who controlled Rhodes and some other Greek islands from 1309 to 1522, to house the Grand Master of the Order. After the island was captured by the Ottoman Empire, the palace was used as a command center and fortress.
Some parts of the palace were damaged by an ammunition explosion in 1856. After the Italian occupation of Rhodes in 1912, the Italian architect Vittorio Mesturino restored it between 1937 and 1940 and made it a holiday residence for the King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III.

PALACE OF THE GRAND MASTER OF THE KNIGHT OF RHODES (RHODES CASTLE)
Palace of the Grand Master - Rhodes
The palace, a rectangular building with an imposing main entrance leading to a central, outdoor court, was built on the position of the ancient Acropolis, where the temple of God Helios and the 7th century byzantine acropolis were located.
In the beginning of the 14th century, the knights of Saint John built the palace as the residence of the Grand Master, an administrative center of the city and a main part of the medieval fortification.
It was destroyed in 1856 by a large explosion of gunpowder, which was hidden in the basements of the adjacent church of Saint John.
The palace was reconstructed during the Italian occupation, in the 1930s and took its current layout, and became the command post, but also the residence of the Italian commander.
The layout included the transfer and placement in the chambers of the palace of remarkable floor mosaics of the late Hellenistic period from Kos. Pillars and chapiters, medieval furniture, mirrors, paintings, candle holders, and other items complete the decoration of the imposing building.
Two permanent exhibitions are hosted in the ground floor of the building. The first one is on ancient Rhodes and it is entitled “Rhodes: 2400 years”, exhibiting findings from the establishment and the prime of the Hellenistic city. The second exhibition “Rhodes from the Early-Christian Period until the Turkish occupation (1522)” illustrates medieval Rhodes, with pottery, sculptures, removed frescoes and portable icons.

The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes in the City of Rhodes is one of the main attractions of the island of the same name. It was built on the highest point of the city. Today it is assumed that it was the original location of the Colossus of Rhodes. Coming from the harbor, you have to overcome numerous fastening walls and ditches till you stand in front of the entrance with its impressive towers. This area is the only one that is still in its original condition, after in 1856, the palace was badly damaged in some parts by an explosion of the ammunition depot.
The Grand Master Palace was built by the multinational forces of the Knights of the Cross for the Grand Master of the Order of St John in Rhodes in the 14th century. Not till 1522, Rhodes was conquered by the Ottomans under Suleiman the Magnificent, after months of siege. Italians occupied the island in 1912 and the Grand Master's Palace was rebuilt not in the original size but in 1.5-fold size.
The Grand Master Palace was planned as residence for the Italian king and later for Mussolini. In both cases, the planning was swept away by history.
Today it houses the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes.

Der Großmeisterpalast in Rhodos Stadt gehört zu den bedeutendsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der gleichnamigen Insel. Er wurde am höchsten Punkt der Stadt errichtet, wo man heute auch den ursprünglichen Standplatz des Kolosses von Rhodos vermutet.
Vom Hafen kommend sind zahlreiche Befestigungsmauern und Gräben zu überwinden bis man vor dem Eingang mit seinen eindrucksvollen Türmen steht. Dieser Bereich ist der einzige, der im Original erhalten blieb, nachdem der Palast 1856 durch eine Explosion des Munitionsdepots zum größten Teil schwer beschädigt wurde.
Der Großmeisterpalast wurde im 14. Jahrhundert von den multinationalen Streitmächten der Kreuzritter für den Großmeister des Johanniterordens auf Rhodos errichtet. Erst 1522 wurde Rhodos von den Osmanen unter Suleiman dem Prächtigen nach monatelanger Belagerung eingenommen. 1912 besetzten Italiener die Insel und der Großmeisterpalast wurde wieder errichtet, allerdings nicht im Original sondern in 1,5 facher Größe.
Geplant war der Palast als Residenz für den italienischen König und später für Mussolini. In beiden Fällen wurde die Planung von der Geschichte hinweggefegt.
Heute beherbergt er das archäologische Museum von Rhodos.
