Panagia tou Kastrou, or Our Lady of the Castle, is a Byzantine church nestled inside the Palace of the Grand Master complex in Rhodes. Built in the 11th century, it was later converted into a Catholic cathedral by the Knights. The church is renowned for its stunning 14th-century frescoes, which depict scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary, painted in vibrant colors. Visitors can explore the small, serene interior and marvel at the intricate iconography that blends Byzantine and Western influences. It offers a quiet respite from the bustling palace grounds.
