* Bodrum Castle

Bodrum Castle, standing as the symbol of Bodrum, was built by the Knights of St. John (Knights of Rhodes) between 1406-1523. It sits on a rock surrounded by the sea on three sides, between two ports.

The castle was constructed using the stones from the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (Mausoleion), one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The entire castle is almost the size of a small village, and today all the towers and various parts of the castle have been converted into exhibition halls for the Underwater Archaeology Museum.

In the museum's more than 14 exhibition halls, many collections of ancient artifacts, including the remains of shipwrecks in Turkey, are on display. Visitors can touch and examine many of the items with explanatory texts in various languages.

* Bodrum Underwater Archeology Museum

Scientific underwater excavations began for the first time on the shores of Turkey in the 1960s, and the unearthed finds were protected in Bodrum Castle after it was reorganized as a museum in 1964.

Due to its rich underwater collection dating back to the 14th century BC to the 16th century AD, the museum was renamed as the Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum in 1981. It is Turkey's only and the world's most important underwater archaeology museum and received the 1995 European Special Commendation Award.
