Belyaus Hillfort

Archaeological site

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The ruins of the ancient settlement of Belyaus are located on the seashore near the western end of the Donuzlav Pass, near the village of Znamyanske.

The fortified Greek settlement of Belaus arose here in the second half of the 4th century BC. The main fortification element was a powerful multi-story tower, the impressive ruins of which have survived to this day. After several Scythian attacks, the base of the tower was strengthened with an additional anti-ram belt. The belt, made of huge blocks, was about 5 meters high and gave the building the appearance of a pyramid. Inside the tower, a well was preserved, as well as a large grain pit with the remains of wheat, millet and rye.

In addition, the foundations of economic, residential and religious complexes were discovered, in particular, a sanctuary dedicated to the cult of the dolphin, which has no analogues in the Northern Black Sea region.

In Late Antiquity, the Scythians lived here, then, until the 10th century, the Khazars.

Archaeological research is being conducted.
