Built in the 15th century by the Knights of St. John, the castle was erected using stones from the nearby ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Each of its towers was named after the nation responsible for its construction—English, French, German, and Italian. For centuries, the fortress served as a defense, a prison, and today, it is an impressive cultural center.
