Izborsk, Medieval fortress and settlement in Pskov Oblast, Russia
The stone fortress stands on Zheravya hill, featuring six defensive towers and walls extending 850 meters around a 2.5-hectare territory.
The settlement dates to the 7th century when Krivich tribes established it, later becoming a key defensive point for the Pskov Republic in 1330.
The site includes Saint Nicholas Cathedral, ancient burial mounds, and the Slovensky Springs, a group of twelve mineral water sources.
The fortress lies 30 kilometers west of Pskov, accessible by regular bus services that connect visitors to the site in 40 minutes.
Archaeological findings at Truvor's Settlement, located 500 meters from the current fortress, contain artifacts from the early medieval period.
