Містечко Скала-Подільська розташоване на річці Збруч, між Кам'янцем-Подільським та Борщевом.
Офіційною датою заснування вважається 1210 рік. В ті часи поселення називалося Скала або Скала над Збручем. В ХІV столітті на місці давньоруського городища існував дерев'яний замок, який в 1360-1370 роках значно зміцнили князі Коріатовичі (Корятовичі). Скала стала одним з найбільш укріплених міст Поділля.
У 1515 році ця територія відійшла до Польщі, а замок опинився у володінні кам'янецького старости Станіслава Лянцкоронського. Він побудував новий кам'яний замок, який потім неодноразово руйнувався та відбудовувався наново. Збереглися оборонні стіни, порохова вежа, фрагменти інших укріплень, а також стіни палацу старости міста Адама Тарло (XVIII сторіччя).

Skala-Podilska Castle

The ruins of the medieval castle in Skala-Podilska are located on a high rock on the right bank of the Zbruch River.
The construction of the castle began in 1331 by princes Koriatovych (Koryatovych), who owned Podillya at that time, on the site of an old wooden fortification. In 1516, the Kamyanets chief Stanislav Lyantskoronsky restored the castle destroyed by the Tatars, supplementing it with powerful walls and bastions. In 1648, it was captured by Cossack troops, then it repeatedly changed hands during the Polish-Turkish wars.
In the first half of the 18th century, the headman of Skala, Adam Tarlo, rebuilt a palace in the baroque style with magnificent decor on the ruins, but only a few years later the building burned down due to a lightning strike. Since then, the castle has not been rebuilt. In Soviet times, the ruins were preserved.
