Bodrum Castle, which differs from its contemporary medieval castles in Anatolia in terms of its architectural structure, is one of the last castles built by the Knights of St. John in this region. Remarkably well-preserved, the castle now houses the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, showcasing a premier collection of artifacts recovered from both land and sea.

The project includes Documentation-Problem Analysis, Material Analysis, Historical Research – Restitution, Intervention Decisions – Restoration, Adaptive Re-use, Museology and Landscape Design projects, and Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering projects.
