Правобережное Цимлянское городище, Medieval hillfort in Tsimlyansk, Russia
The fortification stands on a 70-meter-high plateau above the Tsimlyansk Reservoir, surrounded by deep ravines providing natural protection.
Built in the late 7th century as a Khazar Khaganate fortress, the site features white stone blocks connected by wooden beams with heights reaching 6 meters.
Archaeological excavations in 2009 uncovered numerous artifacts including iron tools, weapons, kitchen pottery, and amphorae indicating advanced craft production and trade.
The archaeological site maintains federal protection status, making unauthorized excavations illegal and requiring special permits for research activities.
The fortress walls contained an innovative construction technique combining white stone blocks measuring 0.6×0.3×0.4 meters with wooden beams and debris filling.
