I really love seeing this castle and all of the carvings, doors, cobblestone streets etc. Very well preserved in a highly recommend stopping by.
The Grand Chief is the Byzantine Empire, where the Grand Chief and the Grand Patriarch of Rhode Island lived, and it is very complete. There are three different types of museums to visit. Tickets are not cheap. In fact, you can just look at the building. There is no Chinese introduction in it, and I always feel confused.
The Grand Archdiocese of Rhode Island, Greece, is well preserved, although not gorgeous, but the momentum is magnificent, you can see the strength of the Knights Legion, it is worth visiting. Tickets 10 euros include 3 museums, especially the first museum, it looks only two floors, in fact, the back garden is very large.
The Grand Prince's Palace, which is quite different from the palaces of the nobles of the European royal palaces, is not a castle in which the delicate princess will live, it is a fortress where the heroic enemy knights are stationed, and the whole palace has a strong and robust feeling. There is also a grain warehouse in its basement, so it looks more like a castle fortress, which can defend against enemy attacks at any time. [Recommended play time] 3 hours. [See point 1 - first floor statue] The entrance to the palace, the first printed into the eyes is the 8 statues facing the gate, one word is arranged, very spectacular. [See point 2 - interior decoration] The original palace was destroyed by natural disasters. The existing palace, which was rebuilt by Italians in the early 20th century for Mussolini and Emperor Victor, was used as his palace. The palace is now considered to be a luxurious decoration. [See point 3 - exhibition room] The rooms in the palace are used as exhibition rooms to introduce Rhode Island and Greek civilization. At the end of the 2nd floor, there is an exhibition room, the exhibits are very distinctive, the exhibition is many old military uniforms, very beautiful. [Look at the long stairs connecting the 1st and 2nd floors] I think the most beautiful thing in the Knights Palace is this long stairs. I highly recommend everyone to come to the palace to walk this stairs! ! The staircase, which connects the 1st and 2nd floors, is rounded vaulted, with medieval claw-shaped candlesticks on the walls, and the whole space is solemn and secretive, and it is very in line with the solemn image of the palace.
The Grand Chief Palace is also called the Knights Palace. The palace is divided into two floors on the ground floor. The chandelier furniture inside the palace shows the classical charm. The basement is a small museum. Some relics left by the Crusades are very historical and must not be missed.
The Grand Chiefs Palace, also known as the Knights Palace, is located on the famous Rhode Island. The palace is simple and solemn, and the stone walls are still very solid and well preserved, although they have been for hundreds of years. It was originally a place where the knight's chiefs lived, but also a fortress, there are many places worth visiting, you can learn about the life of the knights in the Middle Ages.
