Галичский кремль, Archaeological fortress complex in Galich, Russia.
The Galich Kremlin consists of three successive fortification sites located near Lake Galich, featuring defensive walls and earthen ramparts on elevated terrain.
Built in the 12th century, the wooden fortress served as a strategic defense point until 1238 when Batu Khan's army attacked the settlement.
The kremlin grounds contain archaeological remains from different periods, reflecting the evolution of Russian military architecture from wood to stone fortifications.
Visitors can explore three distinct fortification areas: Lower Fort, Upper Fort, and the riverside fortress, each representing different construction periods.
The fortress maintained its military significance until 1523 when it successfully resisted the siege of Kazan Khan Sahib I Giray.
