Turkish Bastion

Castle / fortress , Architecture

The Turkish bastion is part of the fortification system of the Old City of Kamyanets-Podilskyi. It was part of the system of north-western fortifications, the main element of which was the Polish Gate.

The Turkish bastion got its name after this part of the fortress, which is most suitable for shelling the road leading to the castle, was improved by the Turks during the occupation of Kamyanets in 1672-1699.

The bastion is a large four-story structure with casemate rooms, wood-earth parapets and gun embrasures. In 1753, the commandant of the fortress, military engineer Krystian Dalke, repaired it with the installation of stone parapets on the high, multi-lane arcade.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the stone vaults of the casemates were completely translated and began to be used as warehouses.
