Sobre
Fatos rápidos: The medieval walls stretch 4 kilometers, enclosing a maze of narrow cobblestone streets. The Old Town reflects the legacy of the Knights Hospitaller, who fortified the city during the Crusades.
Destaques: Walk along the Street of the Knights, where grand inns represent each of the seven langues of the Order. The Palace of the Grand Master stands as a massive fortress with pink marble floors that shimmer in sunlight filtering through narrow windows.
