Das äußerst sehenswerte Unterwassermuseum befindet sich im Kastell von St. Peter. Prunkstück ist das Schiff von Uluburun, ein Wrack aus der Bronzezeit, das samt Fracht und Ausstattung gehoben wurde.

After her death the architects and artisans paid for the project out of their own pockets; it was finally completed in 350 B.C. According to historical accounts, the magnificent tomb featured pillars supporting a pyramid-shaped roof that appeared to “float” above the structure. Atop the summit was a sculpture of the king and queen riding in a chariot. In 1522, after an earthquake caused the monument to collapse, the Hospitalers used the stones from the Mausoleum as building material for the reconstruction of the castle. (Look for the greenish stones on the exterior of the chapel just beyond the entrance to the main portion of the museum.) Because of the damage caused by earthquakes, plundering, and irresponsible excavations, present-day archaeologists can only guess at the building’s original appearance.

You can find different programs and shows almost everynight in the summer.
