Bodrum Castle


Was built by the Knights Hospitaller starting in 1402 as the Castle of St. Peter or Petronium. The construction of the castle began under the German knight-architect Heinrich Schlegelholt. Construction workers were guaranteed a reservation in Heaven by a papal decree of 1409. For over a century, St. Peter's Castle remained the second most important castle of the Order. It served as a refuge for all Christians in Asia Minor.
