Mangup

Castle / fortress

CRIMEA IS UKRAINE!

Mangup-Kale is a fortress city (VI-XV centuries) next to the village of Khodzha Sala between the villages of Krasniy Mak and Ternivka.

It is located on the top of the mountain, which rises 250-300 meters above the level of the surrounding valleys. Since the 6th century it has been known as Doros, the capital of Crimean Gothia. The construction of a 25-meter-deep mine-well on the top of the mountain, which reached the aquifer, made Mangup an impregnable fortress capable of withstanding a long siege. From the 11th century - the capital of the Feodoro principality, then a Turkish fortress.

In 1790, the last inhabitants left the Mangup settlement - the Karaite community. The best-preserved three-story palace-citadel.

Access is free. Transfer by car and excursions are organized from the village of Khodzha Sala.
