This print transports us back in time to the enchanting island of Rhodes, where history and architecture intertwine. The subject is none other than the magnificent English bastion, also known as St. Mary's, standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Built in 1443 during the Renaissance period, this imposing fortification showcases a harmonious blend of Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Its grandeur is undeniable as it dominates the landscape with its fortified tower and sturdy walls that have witnessed centuries of European history unfold. The craftsmanship displayed in this architectural marvel is awe-inspiring. Every intricate detail tells a story - from the meticulously carved stone embellishments to the symmetrical design that exudes strength and resilience. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to protect what they hold dear. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in 1936 by Alinari, Fratelli, we can't help but feel transported back through time. We imagine ourselves walking along those ancient walls, feeling their cool touch beneath our fingertips while taking in breathtaking views of Rhodes' picturesque surroundings.

It reminds us that even amidst conflict and turmoil, beauty can emerge - both in artistry and historical significance.
