610. Rhodes, medieval town, Panagia of the Bourgo (Ρόδος, μεσαιωνική
πόλη, Παναγία του Μπούργκου)
Byzantine type: barrel-vaulted, single-nave, free cross plan
with dome, three-aisled barrel-vaulted, cross-in-square, tet-
raconch. As for wall-paintings, about 100 layers have been
detected, of which around 75 date to the rule of the Knights.
Three artistic trends can be observed: the western European,
Late Byzantine-Palaeologan and the eclectic.
In particular, an example of the western European trend in
painting survives in the Panagia in-the-Castle (Saint Lucia,
14th c.) and in secular buildings in the medieval town (like the
Castellany), while examples of Late Byzantine art have been
observed in sections of wall-painting in more than 35 churches
on the island of Rhodes, including the Catholic church in Afan-
tou (9), Aghios Georgios Pachymachiotes at Lindos (16), Saint
Nicholas at Maritsa (1435) (7), Aghis Triada at Psinthos (1407-
8) (8), and in many other churches in medieval Rhodes town,
such as Saint Catherine, Aghios Artemios, Saints Constantine
and Helen, the second layer of Aghios Phanourios (1335-6),
