It was to become one of the most important colonies in the region, Caria, before coming under Lydian and then Persian rule. It was during this period that Artemisia was born, the first female admiral in history, and Herodotus, the world's first historian. He made no secret of his delight when he wrote of her: \"I make an exception for Artemisia, whom I greatly admire for having waged war against Greece, even though she was a woman...\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn't until the 4th century BC that Mausoleus, satrap (governor) of Caria, transferred his capital to Halicarnassus and turned it into a prestigious city, the remains of which are protected today. He began construction of a mausoleum, which was to become one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (since when the term has been used to describe all grandiose funerary architecture). Today, we can only imagine this tomb, because after several earthquakes, it was dismantled down to the last stone; all that remains are the foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1402, a disruption in the Ottoman Empire enabled the Christians to establish themselves in the city and build the sturdy castle of Saint Peter's. They stayed for a century, until Suleiman the Magnificent, Sultan of the Ottoman dynasty, drove them out. They remained there for a century, until Suleiman the Magnificent, Sultan of the Ottoman dynasty, drove them out. St Peter's Castle (Petrum) lent its name to the town, which, by slight deformation, became Bodrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rare and precious are the lands that have been able to integrate so many civilisations and that can still bear witness to this today. To the delight of residents and visitors alike, the city now boasts a number of monuments and museums illustrating this fine heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-chateau-de-saint-pierre-le-liberateur-monument-incontournable-de-bodrum\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Chateau_de_Saint-Pierre_le_Liberateur_monument_incontournable_de_Bodrum\"><\/span><strong>The Castle of Saint Peter the Liberator: a must-see monument in Bodrum<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"Les ouvriers qui \u00e9difi\u00e8rent le ch\u00e2teau de Saint-Pierre le Lib\u00e9rateur se virent garantir par bulle papale leur place au paradis.\" data-rl_caption=\"Les ouvriers qui \u00e9difi\u00e8rent le ch\u00e2teau de Saint-Pierre le Lib\u00e9rateur se virent garantir par bulle papale leur place au paradis.\" title=\"The workers who built the castle of Saint-Pierre le Lib\u00e9rateur were guaranteed their place in paradise by papal bull.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The workers who built the castle of Saint-Pierre le Lib\u00e9rateur were guaranteed their place in paradise by papal bull.\" class=\"wp-image-825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Photo-3_Les-ouvriers-qui-\u00e9difi\u00e8rent-le-ch\u00e2teau-de-Saint-Pierre-le-Lib\u00e9rateur-se-virent-garantir-par-bulle-papale-leur-place-au-paradis.-Copier.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The workers who built the castle of Saint-Pierre le Lib\u00e9rateur were guaranteed their place in paradise by papal bull.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To our great dismay, the stones are missing from the Marvel of the Ancient World, but they were used to build powerful fortifications at the Ch\u00e2teau de Saint-Pierre.
