The castle at Bodrum, Turkey.
Bodrum was built on the ruins of ancient Halicarnassus by the
Hospitalers, a crusading order who occupied the site in 1402.
Their spectacular castle, the Petronium, or Castle of St. Peter,
remained a Christian stronghold until the Turkish sultan Süleyman I
the Magnificent captured it in 1522.
The castle is now a tourist attraction.
