Bodrum Castle was built by Saint John Knights on a rocky peninsula, between two ports. Construction of the castle began in 1406 and continued nearly 100 years. The castle has French, Italian, German, British and Spanish towers. The knights used the stones and large marble blocks of ruined Mausoleum for the construction of the castle. When Rhodes was taken by Turks in 1522, the knights left Bodrum and its vicinity on January 5, 1523. The castle was as a goal for a time, and at the end of the 19 th century the public baths were added and it acquired the characteristic of an Ottoman building. It was also used as a prison after 1895. It was abondened in 1915 when the French and British battke ships bombed the city during WWI.
