One of the very cool things we saw at the end of the trip was this Castle Fortification in Bodrum. It was a Castle built by the Crusaders. There was a tower for each of the occupying armies. An Italian (Venician) tower, British, French, German and Spanish Towers.
.
It was started and built from 1402, surrendered to the Ottomans without a fight in 1522, when the Knights Templar retreated to Malta.
