Дорогобужский Вал, Archaeological hillfort in Dorogobuzh, Russia.
The ancient fortification stands on an elevated position along the southern bank of the Dnieper River, featuring earthen ramparts and defensive structures from medieval times.
The hillfort served as a strategic defense point of the eastern borders of the Smolensk Principality, established in the 12th century by Prince Rostislav.
The archaeological site contains multiple layers of artifacts representing different periods of Russian history, from the medieval era through the centuries of regional conflicts.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours arranged by the Dorogobuzh Regional Museum, which provides detailed information about the fortification's archaeological findings.
The fortification remains include a wooden fortress system with 14 towers, constructed in 1503 when Dorogobuzh became part of the Russian state.
