Marmaris Castle

Marmaris Castle is positioned in Mugla province, Turkey. The fort became reconstructed with the aid of Suleyman the Magnificent during his expedition towards Rhodes. The Marmaris Castle is one of the few castles in Turkey that still possesses a museum. According to Greek historian Herodotus, the primary town partitions in Marmaris have been built in 3,000 BC, although the only written source approximately the construction of the citadel via the famend Ottoman visitor, Evliya Celebi, in his work Seyahatname.

Celebi, who visited Mugla and its place inside the 17th century, says Sultan Suleyman ordered the development of the fort earlier than his day trip to Rhodes and that the castle served as a army base during the day trip. An essential part of the citadel changed into destroyed all through World War I through a French warship. Until 1979, locals of Marmaris inhabited the citadel, which is thought to include 18 residences, a fountain and a cistern. The fortress became registered as a monumental shape in 1983 and opened as a museum in 1991.
