Starozbarazka Fortress
Archaeological site
The remains of the oldest defensive structure of Zbarazh are located on the southwestern outskirts of the city, on the banks of the Hnizna River.
On the opposite bank, on Babina Hill, there was an ancient Rus settlement of the 9th-12th centuries. The stone fortification was built on the site of the wooden fortress by the Siversky prince Dmytro Korybut. The new owners became the princes of Nesvytsky, who were called Zbarazky after that. In 1477, the castle was destroyed by the Mongols, but was soon restored, and in the 16th century it withstood 4 Tatar sieges. Only the fifth siege in 1598 was fatal for the castle - the fortress was completely destroyed and was never rebuilt, and the princely residence was moved to a place in Zbarazh.
Fragments of the foundations of the Starozbarazka Fortress have been preserved, and a memorial sign has been installed.
