The majestic Bodrum Castle, constructed in the 15th century by the knights of the Order of Saint John, features original Gothic architecture and embodies the mystique of the long-lost religious Order. The castle's five towers, each representing French, English, Spanish, Italian, and German styles, symbolize the multinational nature of the Order and its members. Carved coats of arms on the fortress walls serve as reminders of its storied past.
In the 16th century, the castle fell under the control of the Ottoman Empire and was used as a military base and prison until the 20th century. Today, it houses the exceptional Museum of Underwater Archaeology, one of the world's best and a must-see attraction.
