Arabat Fortress

Castle / fortress

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The ruins of the Turkish fortress Arabat, which gave its name to the entire Arabat arrow, are located near the spit on the Crimean side, next to the salt industry.

The name translates as "suburb".

The Arabat Fortress was built on a narrow sandy strip between the Arabat Bay and Sivash after the Turks invaded the Crimean Peninsula in 1475. It is mentioned for the first time in the 17th century. There was a moat in front of the fortress walls, and an earthen rampart behind it. The serfs with five bastions and fortress walls had several rows of loopholes in which guns of different power were installed, which made it possible to maintain a circular defense.

In 1771, during the Russian-Turkish war, it was stormed by Russian troops. The fortification retained its strategic importance for a long time - it was used during the Crimean campaign, the Soviet-Ukrainian war, and the Second World War.
