The Castle of Kritinia in Rhodes, Dodecanese: On a hill approximately 131 meters above the village of Kritinia, northern Rhodes, stand the ruins of a medieval castle. This castle was constructed by the Knights of Saint John and has elements of Byzantine and Venetian architecture. It was originally built on three levels and each level was assigned to a different Grand Master.
