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