In the east of the modern city there is a portion of ancient Rhodes. This is the ancient harbor - its modern name is Mandraki - with the statues of the deer and the fawn at its entrance. Tradition tells that this was where the famous Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, stood. A long mole, which protects the harbor, has in its middle three old windmills and at its northern end the Fortress of St Nicholas with the lighthouse. Halki, Lindos and Nisyros set out.
