Italian term or phrase: Albergo della Lingua d'Alverina
Ho davvero bisogno di aiuto! Non trovo alcuna corrispondenza per questo termine! Di seguito la frase:
Si tratta della descrizione di Rodi e della sua Città Medievale:
"Collachio: era il quartiere riservato ai Cavalieri, dove vi furono eretti la Cattedrale e i principali edifici dell’ordine. Qui sorge il Palazzo dell’Armeria, che fu il primo ospedale dei cavalieri, *l’Albergo della Lingua d’Alverina*, del XVI secolo, la chiesa di Santa Maria Del Castello, costruita in stile gotico nel XIV secolo, ma originaria del periodo bizantino, e l’Albergo della lingua d’Inghilterra. " Ringrazio in anticipo!!Ciao
