Location: Town

Located on the Street of the Knights, the Holy Trinity Church (also known as Church of Agia Triada) is one of the most impressive ecclesiastical monuments in the medieval Old Town of Rhodes.

The stone-built church was constructed by the Langue of England between 1365 and 1374, and findings suggest that it was initially dedicated to Saint Michael. It was an one-aisled structure, probably covered by a single vault. During the Ottoman occupation period, it was converted into a mosque called Khan Zade Mesjid, and its was then that it acquired its current elliptical dome.

Over the main entrance, it is still possible to see the coat of arms of the Holy See, flanked by those of the Langue of England. Most of the church’s murals, which dated from the late 15th or early 16th century, have not survived to this day, while the few extant fragments were restored during the Italian occupation period.

Today, the church is permanently closed, but it possible to marvel at the building as you walk along the majestic Street of the Knights.
