Castle / fortress
The Genoese fortress in Sudak is one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in Crimea, a branch of the "Sofiya Kyivska" nature reserve in Kyiv.
The official date of the start of construction is 1371, but the Genoese began to build their fortress on the basis of an older fortification, which was laid by the Byzantines in the VI-X centuries (the oldest remains were found on the southern slope).
The Genoese fortress complex includes 20 towers, a barbican, a gate, a Christian temple, a mosque, barracks and other premises. In the complex of the second tier stands out the Consular tower-donjon, where the ruler of the city lived.
The legend of the daughter of the ruler of Suhdeya, who committed suicide by refusing to become the wife of a Pontic commander, is associated with the highest Watchtower (Divocha) tower. The round tower probably survived from Byzantine times. An exposition on the history of the Sudak Fortress has been opened in the premises of the mosque.

The ruins of the former port area of the city of Sudak are near the sea under Castle Hill.
The defensive tower of Frederiko Astahver (Portova) has been preserved.
The small domed church of the Twelve Apostles is located next to it. At first it was Greco-Byzantine. It was destroyed twice and rebuilt again, the second time as an Armenian church. The walls of the temple were decorated with an interesting fresco painting depicting a secret supper (now the outlines of the figures are indistinct).
