dc.description	Elevation of the Spanish Inn, Street of the Knights; The Knights Hospitaller, who had captured Rhodes from the Greeks in 1309, retained the tripartite division of the Byzantine settlement and improved its fortifications. The citadel in the north-west corner was transformed into the Grand Master's Palace. It lay within the northern section of the town, known by the Hospitallers as the collachium, in which they built the conventual church of St John (1309-1346; destroyed 1856), the Inns of the Tongues, the hospital, the armoury and the arsenal, and repaired the Orthodox cathedral of the Panagia tou Kastrou ('of the castle'; 11th century), converting it into the Latin cathedral. [The knights were divided into 7 nations known as "Tongues"- France, Provence, Auvergne, Aragon, Castille, Italy and England. These are the Inns on the Street of the Knights.] Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/ (accessed 1/20/2008)	en_US
