A preserved Hellenistic fortification wall located on Grigoriou Vth 32, south of the city of Rhodes. Sadly, not much easily accesible documentation - there may be more held in some dusty academic documents.
"In the area outside the mediaeval walled city of Rhodes, there are countless points where small elements of the Ancient break through the urban fabric of the Modern city.
4th century southern walls run east along a course which cuts diagonally through the blocks south of today’s Konstantinou Palaeologou and Garivaldi Streets, across the junction of Plateia Epta Vaghies, and then follow Grigoriou Vth Street and Klaude Pepper Avenue down to the shore along the north side of the main modern cemetery. Beyond this line, to the south, extended the ancient cemeteries."
