Kharaks Fortress

Castle / fortress

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The ruins of the ancient Roman fortress Kharaks on Cape Ai-Todor are located on the territory of the "Dnipro" sanatorium in Haspra.

It was one of the fortified points of the Roman troops that appeared in Tavria in 63-66. The fortress controlled navigation near the coast of Crimea, where the sea route from Bosporus and Chersonesus to Sinope and Trebizond passed.

In 244, after the attack of the Goths, the Roman troops were evacuated from Kharaks, and the fortress was destroyed. Archaeological research began in the 19th century at the initiative of Grand Duke Heorhiy Mykhaylovych Romanov, who owned the Ai-Todor estate.

Currently, the object is open for visits by organized groups of tourists.
