Gorodok, Archaeological fortress in Zvenigorod, Russia.
Located on steep banks of the Moskva River, Gorodok features earth fortifications rising 46 meters above the water level with protective walls encompassing the site.
Archaeological excavations between 1943 and 1957 revealed settlement artifacts from the 12th and 13th centuries, confirming the site's role in medieval Russian defense networks.
The Assumption Cathedral within Gorodok contains frescoes created by Andrei Rublev, representing the foundations of the Moscow school of painting in the 14th century.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site and its fortifications daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with parking available near the entrance area.
The fortress served as a strategic defense post against Lithuanian and Polish forces along the Smolensk-Moscow road between the 14th and 16th centuries.
