Known as Halicarnassus of Caria in ancient times, Bodrum was once home to The Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In the 15th century the Knights Hospitaller transformed the mausoleum into the Castle of St. Peter, also known as Bodrum Castle. The new structure (which still features some of the ruins in its walls) is the home of the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology as well. Founded in 1962 it hosts the underwater discoveries of ancient shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea.<\/p>\n
