General Information

The "Medieval Rose" Association is a voluntary organisation and does not employ any staff. It is administrated by the Board of 7 members and there are 100 more members participating the association. The Events,have mostly been funded by public bodies, authorities and local sponsors. Every year the events become greater and richer in quality and participations, so a larger budget is needed. The projects of the "Medieval Rose" are based on international participations and cultural exchange. The artisans and re-enactors coming from abroad recreate history, myths and traditions. There had been also seminars taking place in order to educate locals on re-enactments, medieval arts and crafts as well as sword fighting. Some of our main partners are: Organisation for Cultural Development of the Prefecture of Dodecanese, History Park of Rhodes, Municipal Sports & Youth Organisation, Organisation for Rhodes Tourism Promotion, Handicraft Center of Rhodes and many more.

Mission and Objectives

Cultural upgrading: Events, inspired by customs and manners, traditions, myths and the history of Rhodes. Enhancement of monuments of cultural heritage: By means of organizing minor relevant events in Byzantine and Medieval monument sites and fortifications, elsewhere in the island or the Dodecanese. Intercultural dialogue: Communication and co-operation with other similar teams in Europe will contribute in the exchange and investigation of the treasure of cultural elements all our nations have in common. Education: The study of various subjects of the festival events will spread the knowledge concerning our history and traditions. Medieval dance and theatre seminars will be regularly held. Cultural Tourism: In the beginning of the tourist season, the Medieval Festival will provide a unique attraction for visitors with advanced interests and demands.
