Castle of Marmaris

In the historical works of Herodotus we read about the first fortress of Marmaris, dating from the third millennium BC. In the 4th century Alexander the Great conquered the coast and besieged the fortress. Residents left the fortress, destroying many buildings. Then it was called Fiscos. In 1522, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent gave the order to rebuild the fortress, and the city itself was called Marmaris. The fortress received the name of the Sultan. The castle was destroyed by an earthquake in the middle of the twentieth century. Rehabilitation work has begun. Completely completed in 1991. The castle itself has been transformed into a museum, which tourists are happy to visit. Inside are seven halls and a large gallery for exhibitions. Expositions are constantly updated and updated. From the walls of the castle opens a beautiful landscape on the bay of Marmaris and its embankments. You can walk from Cordon Embankment.
