Rhodes Island is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands. Rhodes has become the largest city on the island and of the chain of islands that make up the Dodecanese.The citadel of Rhodes, built by the Hospitalliers, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe which in 1988 was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.In 1912 Italian troops took the island over with the rest of the Dodecanese Islands, and established an Italian colony known as Isole Italiane del Egeo in 1923. The Italians would later demolish the houses that were built on and around the city walls during the Ottoman era. They also turned the Jewish and Ottoman cemeteries into a green zone surrounding the Medieval Town.The Italians preserved what was left from the Knights period, and destroyed all Ottoman buildings. They also reconstructed the Grand Masters Palace. Furthermore, an Institute for the study of the History and Culture of the region was established, and major infrastructure work was done to modernize Rhodes Old Town.
