Derbent Wall, Ancient fortification in Derbent, Russia
The Derbent Wall extends for 4 kilometers along the mountainside with watchtowers and gates, connecting the Caucasus Mountains to the Caspian Sea.
Built during the Sasanian period in the 5th century, the wall served as a crucial defense system controlling passage between Europe and the Middle East.
The wall represents a meeting point of Persian, Arabic, Mongol, and Timurid civilizations, each contributing to its architectural and cultural development.
Visitors can reach the wall from Derbent city center and explore its sections through guided tours that explain the engineering techniques and historical context.
The fortification contains preserved sections of the original structure, demonstrating ancient military architecture alongside the Caspian Gates trade route.
