Semyonovsky Fortress, Military fortress in Rostov Oblast, Russia
The fortress stands at the mouth of the Mius River, featuring four bastions and two half-bastions arranged in an irregular rectangular shape.
Built in 1698 under the initial name Mius, the fortress supported a garrison of 421 military personnel, including spearmen, riders, and regular soldiers.
The site contains numerous archaeological findings, including ceramic fragments and smoking pipes that reveal details about daily life in historical Russia.
Archaeological investigations continue at the fortress site along the Miusskiy Liman banks, where visitors can observe the remaining structural outlines.
The fortress served as a crucial inspection point where Cossack forces monitored merchant vessels traversing through the regional waterways.
