Attractions of Feodosiia

The Genoese fortress Kafa is located in the northern part of Feodosiia, on the shore of the bay.

Since the 1340s, it has been the citadel of the city fortifications of medieval Kafa - the center of the Genoese colonies of the Northern Black Sea. The eleven-meter-high walls were fortified with 14 towers, and 6 gates led inside.

Two towers have been preserved - Crisco (Christ) and Clement VI with adjacent walls, as well as pylons of the great gate. The fortress is in poor condition, access is free.

At the foot of Castle Mountain is the Temple Valley, where several ancient basilicas have been preserved: the Church of Saint George, the Church of John the Baptist (now the Iver Icon of the Mother of God), the Church of Staint Stephen and others.

Saint Constantine's Tower in Feodosiia is a business card of the city, the best-preserved tower that was part of the system of city fortifications.

The city was girded by two lines of fortress walls up to 2.5 meters thick and 12 meters high, fortified with 26 watchtowers and defensive towers (the ruins of the Thomas Tower, Giovanni di Scaffa Tower, and the Dock Tower are also preserved).

The Constantine Tower is popular among tourists due to its convenient location in the park area on the embankment. The adjacent Turkish bastion is equipped as a bar.
