The archaeological site of "Pervola" is highlighted in the Medieval city of Rhodes

Ministry of Culture: Restoration of Roman Cardo and Tetrapylon at Pervola, Medieval Rhodes – Public Access by 2026

In a major cultural boost for Rhodes, the Ministry of Culture is advancing restoration works at the “Pervola” archaeological site within the UNESCO-listed Medieval City. The project focuses on consolidating the Roman Cardo processional road—with its stoas and shops—leading to the impressive Tetrapylon at the Cardo-Decumanus intersection, built over Hellenistic ship sheds (neoria) of the ancient military harbor. With a €4.5 million budget from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the initiative aims to transform this historically layered area (spanning Hellenistic, Roman, Knights Hospitaller, and Italian periods) into an accessible open-air museum by summer 2026, complete with exhibits, improved readability, and full accessibility for people with disabilities.
