Ржевский кремль, Medieval fortress in Rzhev, Russia.
The Rzhev Kremlin stands on elevated ground near the Volga River, featuring stone walls and defensive structures built according to medieval military architecture.
The fortress, constructed in the 12th century, served as a strategic military outpost between the principalities of Tver, Moscow, and Smolensk until the 15th century.
Archaeological excavations at the Rzhev Kremlin site revealed numerous artifacts from medieval Russian life, including tools, weapons, and household items from different centuries.
Visitors can reach the Kremlin site by taking a local bus from Rzhev central station, with guided tours available through the municipal tourism office.
The fortress location at the intersection of medieval trade routes made it a center for currency exchange, as evidenced by coin collections found during excavations.
