Tour Details
Bodrum Castle was built by the Knights of Saint Jean between 1406-1522 on a rocky peninsula surrounded by sea on three sides, between two ports. In the construction of the castle, they used the stones of Mausoleion, one of the seven wonders of the world, which was destroyed in the earthquake. There are French, Italian, English, German and Spanish (Serpentine) towers in the castle. After the island of Rhodes was taken by the Turks in 1522, the knights left Bodrum and its surroundings on January 5, 1523. The Castle, which has been used as a prison since 1895, was abandoned after the French and British bombings on May 26-28, 1915, during World War I, became half-ruined
