New evidence on a monastery in the medieval city of Rhodes
Abstract
The recent restoration works that were carried out at a church, the former mosque of Abdul Tzelil, in the medieval city of Rhodes, brought to light additional information about the building itself and its surrounding edifices. The analysis of the church’s building phases and annexes, the graves from its interior, and the fragmentary painted decoration whose subject is the vita-cycle of St. Nicholas lead to the hypothesis that the latter was the katholikon of a monastery, that of St. Augustine. The monastery is known to have existed from the sources and archival material of the Hospitallers. The monastery was affiliated with a unique personality of the Rhodian society, the bourgeois Dragonetto Clavelli.
