The top part of the mausoleum was destroyed by an earthquake, and in 1494 A.D the Knights of St. John, one of the knight groups in the crusades, used the marble blocks of the base of the mausoleum to make a castle. By 1522 A.D, almost every block had been torn down and used to make the castle. Today, the castle still stands, and with them, the separate pieces of the Mausoleum of King Maussollos.
