Bodrum Castle

Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. Peter, is one of Bodrum’s most notable historic landmarks. Built by the Knights of St. John in the 15th century, it overlooks the harbor and offers a clear sense of the town’s maritime past. Today it houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, where visitors can see shipwreck finds and ancient artifacts. With its sturdy towers, sea views, and layered history, the castle is a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in architecture, archaeology, or a well-placed viewpoint in the center of Bodrum.
