Ivanivsky Fort (Saint John's Fortress)

Castle / fortress

Ivanivsky Fort (Saint John's Fortress) is part of the Ukrainian Defense Line.

At the beginning of the 18th century, this structure was built using only shovels and sacks to move the earth. A regular square. There are four bastions at the corners. In front of the southern and eastern walls are triangular ravelins, behind which hundreds of horsemen could hide. The shelves for the defenders of the fort are clearly visible on the tops of the walls. Inside the fort is a round pit of unclear purpose (most likely a reservoir). The fort is surrounded by a moat along its perimeter, and earthen ramparts with moats approach from the west and east.

The correct proportions, thoughtfulness of all components are impressive.
