Perched on the promontory that divides Bodrum’s twin bays, the Castle of St. Peter is a 15th-century fortress that dominates the city’s skyline. Its robust architecture features towers and battlements, while its grounds are adorned with gardens. Today, the castle houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the region’s maritime history. Explorers can wander through the historic structure, taking in the detailed stonework and panoramic views of the surrounding bays.
