Tiraspol Fortress, Military fortress in Tiraspol, Moldova.
Tiraspol Fortress is a stone fort on the left bank of the Dniester River with defensive walls, towers, and various military buildings. The complex spreads across a large area with several connected structures.
The fortress was built between 1792 and 1793 under Alexander Suvorov's command and served as a key defense point for the Russian Empire's southern borders. This structure continues to shape Tiraspol's appearance today.
The fortress is now part of a museum complex where visitors can see military artifacts and explore exhibitions about the region's history. It attracts people interested in learning about the area's past.
The site has several pathways for exploring the complex, with guidance markers and information panels at key locations. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is uneven and requires walking to explore.
The fortress preserved its original 18th-century layout and design, despite changes in the surrounding area over time. This makes it a living window into the military architecture and planning of that era.
