This impressive structure dates back to the medieval knights of St. John, a catholic order which later became a military alliance that acted as defenders of the Christian faith. Construction of the castle began in the 1400s, and the Knights made use of materials from the tomb of King Mausolus. Today the Castle is home to the Underwater Museum.
Bodrum Amphitheatre is another structure accredited to the reign of King Mausolus, although it wasn't fully completed until the Roman era. Situated on the hillside over looking the resort, the theatre had a capacity in the region of 13,000. The theatre has been diligently restored and today houses the September Festival.
Myndos Gate, a further relic from King Mausolus's time, is the most significant remaining part of the original city wall. Located on the west side of the resort, this was one of two entrances to ancient Halicarnassus. The gate is named after the town which it faced, Myndos (now Gümüslük).
