Bodrum - Museum

 
The various buildings within the castle in Bodrum, together with the upper and lower wards, have been turned into a very interesting museum, the arrangement of which has not yet been completed.

From the mosque (1723) in the Harbor Square a ramp leads up into the outer ward, on the far side of which is an arched gateway giving access to the lower ward (ticket office). Here there is a Gothic chapel, built by Spanish knights in 1520 and later converted into a mosque.
