🇬🇧 The Acropolis of Lindos stands on a steep, imposing rock approximately 116 meters (380 feet) high, overlooking the town of Lindos and offering expansive views of the Aegean Sea and surrounding coastline. This natural rock formation has been used as a fortified site since ancient times due to its strategic position and natural defensibility.

The rock of Lindos has been a significant site since the Archaic period, around the 9th century BCE. Lindos itself was one of the three powerful city-states of ancient Rhodes, along with Ialyssos and Kamiros. The acropolis served as a sanctuary, religious center, and fortified stronghold throughout various periods, including the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and medieval eras.

In ancient times, the acropolis was home to the Temple of Athena Lindia, dedicated to the goddess Athena, who was revered as the protector of the city. The temple, which dates back to the 4th century BCE, was an important religious site. Throughout the centuries, the rock was fortified with walls and towers to protect it from invaders, as it was an ideal defensive position.

🇩🇪 Die Akropolis von Lindos steht auf einem steilen, imposanten Felsen, der etwa 116 Meter hoch ist, die Stadt Lindos überragt und einen weiten Blick auf das Ägäische Meer und die umliegende Küstenlinie bietet. Diese natürliche Felsformation wurde aufgrund ihrer strategischen Lage und ihrer natürlichen Verteidigungsfähigkeit seit der Antike als Festungsanlage genutzt.

Der Felsen von Lindos ist seit der archaischen Periode, etwa im 9. Jahrhundert v. Chr., ein bedeutender Ort. Lindos selbst war neben Ialyssos und Kamiros einer der drei mächtigen Stadtstaaten des antiken Rhodos. Die Akropolis diente als Heiligtum, religiöses Zentrum und befestigte Festung in verschiedenen Epochen, darunter die hellenistische, römische, byzantinische und mittelalterliche Epoche.

In der Antike befand sich auf der Akropolis der Tempel der Athena Lindia, der der Göttin Athena geweiht war, die als Beschützerin der Stadt verehrt wurde. Der Tempel, der auf das 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurückgeht, war eine wichtige religiöse Stätte. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde der Felsen mit Mauern und Türmen befestigt, um ihn vor Eindringlingen zu schützen, da er eine ideale Verteidigungsposition darstellte.
