THE CITYS DEVELOPMENT INDEED, WAS LARGELY A FUNCTION OF ITS SEA POWER, FOR ITS TWIN HARBORS AND THE IMPREGNABLE ACROPOLIS WERE UNIQUE IN RHODES. IN THE ARTS THE LINDIANS WERE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN SCULPTURE. - AS THE MATERIALS, AVAILABLE IN THE AREA WERE NOT PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR SCULPTURE IN STONE, THE LINDIANS WERE OBLIGED TO WORK IN BRONZE, BRINGING ACHIEVEMENT IN THIS TO A VERY HIGH POINT. THE INFAMOUS BRONZE COLOSSUS OF RHODES WAS THE WORK OF A LINDIAN ARTIST. THE CITY REACHED THE HEIGHT OF ITS POWER IN THE 6TH CENTURY B.C. ESPECIALLY IN THE REIGN OF CLEOBOULOS WHO RULED FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS. FROM ITS LIVELY HISTORY THERE ARE MANY TRACES, TO ADMIRE TODAY. THE VILLAGE CONTAINS MANY HOUSES DATING FROM THE 16TH, 17TH AND 18TH CENTURY WHICH ARE KNOWN AS THE HOUSES OF THE CAPTAINS. THEIR ARCHITECTURE AND DECORATION ARE UNIQUE IN THE GREEK WORLD.
