Where are the best places to experience the history of Rhodes?

I've only been to the Palace of the Grandmaster (picture below) but I'd like to see way more of the history on my second trip what are some other historical spots?

Filerimos monastery is amazing! The monastery itself is located near the lively village called Ialyssos. Filerimos Monastery was first built in the 15th century by the Knights of Saint John. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monastery is well known for once housing the famous religious icon, the Virgin of Filerimos.

I would honestly look into taking a guided tour to get an overview of the history once you arrive at the island. From there, you can decide which sites you might want to give more attention too. The history of the Knights of Saint John is a big part of the island, but there is also an ancient history too. I wouldn't miss the agora at Lindos, as well as all the historical buildings related to the Knights.
