It is situated on a rocky island in the east of the main harbor. It occupies the area c.180 by 185 meters. Access to the castle is done through seven major gates. A short ramp leads the visitors to the first gate where a warning warns people about spying. Nearly 250 coat of arms bear witness for the Christian occupation of the castle for a while. Although the first walls were built by German architect Henrich Schelegelholt between 1415-1437, the caste was renovated so many times to keep up with the new ballistic weapons. During these renovations, the Knights of Rhodes used carvings, architectural pieces, and columns of the Mausoleum, which had been apparently destroyed by an earthquake. Italian Tower was built by architect Ancelo Muscettola 1436. The fosse begun in 1476. John Candall built the British Tower in 1480. Pierre d'Abusson did the most recent alterations in the castle between 1476-1403 Gumusluk: This peaceful village is one of the oldest settlements on the peninsula. It has modest restaurants and several pensions and motels, but it retains a small-scale atmosphere for the simple reason that most of the village is designated an official archaeological site so that no landscaping alterations or new groundbreakings are allowed. This status is designed to protect the ancient site of Myndos, which is partially covered by Gumusluk. The original Lelegian city of Myndos stood a few kilometers southeast of here. In the 4th century BC King Mausolus decided to build a new Myndos and transplanted the entire population. A hundred years ago there were ruins worth seeing (including a theatre and a stadium), but now these have disappeared, being gradually dismantled for the foundations and walls of new buildings.
