BODRUM CASTLE AND BODRUM UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY MUSEUM
Bodrum Castle was built by the Knights of St. John at the beginning of the 15th century AD. Following the conquest of Rhodes, the center of the Knights, by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522, Bodrum Castle came under Ottoman rule. During the Ottoman period, the castle was used as a small garrison and was converted into a prison in 1895. During World War I, the castle was heavily damaged by bombing from a French warship and was subsequently evacuated. After being briefly used as a military base again during World War II, Bodrum Castle has served as a museum since 1964.
