The bastion of St George, most advanced defence of the knights Hospitaller on Rhodes
Abstract
The bastion of St. George occupies the middle of the west side of the Hospitaller fortifications of the town of Rhodes. Its complicated evolution is split into five distinct phases:
(a) Central tower and fausse-braye shielding a gate (ca.1382);
(b) Addition of spurbul wark(1437-1461);
(c) Modification of the spur bulwark and other elements to add strength and firepower (1461-1476);
(d) A massive outer bastion with gun batteries and platform that encloses the bulwark (1476-1520);
(e) The bastion is consolidated and joined to the wall walk (1529-1521).
