Kalamita Fortress

Castle / fortress

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The Byzantine fortress of Kalamita appeared on the Monastery Rock in the 6th century, in 1427 it was rebuilt and became an outpost of the principality of Feodoro, which fought against the influence of the Genoese who settled in nearby Chembalo (Balaklava).

In 1475, it was captured by the Turks and renamed Inkerman (from Turkic - "cave fortress"). It consisted of a defensive wall (height 8 meters, thickness 2 meters) and five towers, which are partially preserved.

Behind the wall are the ruins of city quarters, as well as cave premises (barracks, casemates, utility rooms).
