Rhodes

Rhodes was an independent island city-state, home of the famous Colossus of Rhodes, a gigantic statue of Apollo that also served as a lighthouse. The Colossus was one of the wonders of the ancient world. The Apostle Paul stopped at Rhodes at the close of his Third Missionary Journey (Acts 21:1).
