This is the castle of the Knights of St. John overlooking Bodrum harbor. This is the COOLEST castle I have been in since we went to Suleiman's castle in Kerik, Jordan. You can go ANYWHERE. It was amazing. However, it was made because of the destruction of the sight below.
This is the ruins of the Mausoleum of Heliokarnassis, one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world. Those brilliant knights saw it (though I am sure that some of it was in ruins) and said, hey! Let's take all this marble and turn it into lime for our new castle. Thus destroying the Mausoleum.
