Arabat Fortress, Ottoman military fortress at the Arabat Spit, Crimea.
The fortification features octagonal walls measuring three meters thick, with five defensive towers positioned at strategic points along its perimeter.
The fortress, constructed in the 17th century by Turkish forces, protected Crimea from northern invasions until its capture by Russian troops in 1783.
The name Arabat originates from Arabic military terminology, representing a crucial element of Ottoman defensive architecture in the Black Sea region.
The ruins remain accessible through a road network connecting to the southern end of the Arabat Spit, near the village of Kamyanske.
During the filming of 'Two Comrades Were Serving' in 1968, the fortress walls provided a backdrop for multiple scenes depicting military conflicts.
