Collosus of Rhodes (32 meters in height), once believed to be at the entrance of the city harbour of Rhodes, was made of bronze and it was representing the Greek God of Helios. This statue is accepted to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Standing at the entrance of the harbour, ships have reportedly sailed between the legs of the Colossus. After a victorious battle won by the Dors, it was built as a victory memorial and as an expression of gratitude to the Deity Helios. The bronze sculpture took 12 years to cast by the artist Khares. The Colossus was completed in 209 BC, but it collapsed by an earthquake and stayed tilted for few centuries.
