One of the most attractive openings in the Castle is the private hall devoted exclusively to the display of the Carian princess dates back to 360 B.C. 2400 years ago from today satrap of Caria; King Mausolos’s wife Artemis 2nd built a monumental tomb, the Mausoleum one of the wonders of the ancient world, upon the death of her husband to immortalize the memory of him.

The Mausoleum was completed around 350 BC. And the beauty of the Mausoleum was not only in the structure itself, but in the decorations and statues that adorned the outside at different levels on the podium and the roof. These were tens of life-size as well as under and over life-size free-standing statues of people, lions, horses, and other animals. Foremost of the monumental constructions that lasted untill today from the period of antiquity is the classical Antique Theatre of Bodrum.

It is one of the oldest theatres in Asia Minor.It has a capacity of 10.000 audience and three sections.Orchestra(Half circle),Scene(Stage Building) and Cavea (sitting area) It was built during the Carian reign in the Hellenistic age (330 - 30 BC.) It shows great similarities with the Epidauros Theatre in Greece. The stage was probably built in two stories.The radius of the Theatron site is 57m. Located on the west side of Bodrum, Myndus Gate is one of the two entrances of ancient Halicarnassus.

It was part of the towns wall. The gate is named after the place Myndos because it faces the ancient Myndos place (now Gümüslük). It is described as Tripollion because the gate had three towers. In front of the gate was a ditch of 8 meters depth and 15 meters long. Tombs dates back to Hellenistic and Roman Times were found here in the last century. The soldier of Alexander The Great could hardly come into the town of Halicarnassos due to the strong city walls in 333 B.C.
