The castle is built on the remains of the mausoleum of Mausolus which collapsed as a result of a earthquake. The huge exterior walls were made in the 15th century by the German architect Schlegelholt and the five towers are called the English, Italian, German, French, and Snake towers. The Italian tower was built in 1436 by Angelo Mascettola and the final parts of the castle were built by Pierre d'Abusson between 1476 and 1593. One the walls of the castle are nearly 250 coats of arms of the knights who served there. Captured in 1522 by the Ottomans during the reign of Suleyman, the church in the castle was converted into a mosque.
