Semikarakorsk Fortress
Semikarakorsk Fortress, Ancient fortress near Semikarakorsk, Russia
The defensive structure features an inner citadel measuring 85 by 80 meters and outer walls spanning 215 by 200 meters on an island hill.
Engineers of the Khazar Khaganate constructed this residence in the late 8th century using approximately two million bricks measuring 25 by 25 by 5 centimeters.
