Строкинское укрепление
Строкинское укрепление, Fortification in Izmaylovo District, Russia.
Strokinskoe Fortification is a circular defensive earthwork located in Izmaylovo District with raised embankments arranged in geometric patterns. The structure contains a central elevated area surrounded by water-filled ditches that form part of the overall fortified design.
This fortification was built in the late 1600s as part of Moscow's defensive ring against external threats. Archaeological evidence suggests earlier military structures may have occupied this location centuries before.
The name Strokinskoe comes from a village that once existed in this area before Moscow grew outward. Today the circular earthwork sits as a quiet landmark within the surrounding park, reminding visitors of the older settlements that shaped the region.
The fortification sits within Izmaylovsky Park where you can explore it on foot along various pathways throughout the grounds. The best time to visit is during dry weather when the embankments and surrounding ground are easy to walk on.
The perfect circular shape was a deliberate military design choice for maximum defensive strength common in the 1600s. This radial arrangement of ramparts allowed defenders to cover and support fire from all directions simultaneously.
