Kamenets-Podol'skiy Castle

This is a backside view of the castle everyone visits when they come to town.

Kamyanets-Podilsky Castle belongs to the seven wonders of Ukraine. Its strategic location on the Smotrych River played an important role in the history of the country.
The castle is the largest building towering above the landscape of the entire city. Located on a cliff of a peninsula formed by a river (the ancient city was located in the loop of the Smotrych river), the castle was reliably protected from all sides. Thanks to this, Kamenetz became the capital of the region and the extreme bastion of Christianity; it was a welcome object for many countries.
Although the foundation of the fortress dates back to ancient times, since this area was inhabited back in the days of Kievan Rus, the name Kamenetz Podolsky was first mentioned in 1374 in historical records. The stone castle was built by the Lithuanian princes Koriatovichi. Over the past thousand years, this fortress has undergone countless changes. In the middle of the XVI century, all wooden structures were replaced by stone ones, and they acquired a modern look that has survived to this day.
