"Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem: Guardians of History and Legacy" Step back in time to the enchanting Puerta Del Sol, Toledo, 1890. This captivating image, created by an unknown artist, transports us to a world where the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem reigned supreme. From Malta's vibrant flags in Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' "Flags of All Nations" series to the picturesque Enceinte de l'Hopital des Chevaliers-de-Saint-Jean in Jerusalem's southern coast, their influence spanned continents. Alof de Wignacourt, a prominent figure from the early 17th century depicted in an intriguing artwork from 1908 by an anonymous creator, showcases the grandeur and power associated with these noble knights. Bembo's stunning portrayal from 1830 further immortalizes their legacy. The intricate details capture their chivalry and dedication to protecting those in need. Even Queen Victoria recognized their valor as guests adorned themselves in magnificent costumes for her Bal Costume on May 12th, 1842. The elegance displayed was reminiscent of these legendary knights who served under various monarchies throughout history. The Castle of Kolossi near Limassol, Cyprus stands tall as a testament to their fortitude. Its balcony offers breathtaking views that transport visitors into another era filled with tales of bravery and honor. Inside St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta lies a treasure trove showcasing the splendor they left behind.

Rhodes holds its own allure with images capturing its ancient beauty dating back to 1480-1884. From its Great Keep at Kolossi Castle to the charming old town streets steeped in history - it is evident why this island played such a significant role for these knights.
