Гочевское городище, Federal cultural heritage hillfort in Belovsky District, Russia
The archaeological complex contains two fortified sections, Krutoy Kurgan and Tsarsky Palace, along with unfortified settlements and two burial grounds.
The site developed from a Scythian settlement into a major administrative center after Prince Svyatoslav Igorevich's eastern campaigns in the late 10th century.
Archaeological excavations revealed numerous artifacts, including grain storage facilities, metal furnaces, household items, and burial traditions spanning several centuries.
The settlement's position on elevated terrain between rivers provided natural defenses and strategic advantages for monitoring the surrounding territories.
Research identifies this location as the ancient city of Muzhech, mentioned in diplomatic correspondence from 1540 and later known as Muzhetskoe before becoming Gochevskoe.
