Dovmontov gorod, Medieval fortification complex in Pskov, Russia

The Dovmontov complex covers 3 hectares within Pskov Kremlin, featuring stone walls up to 8 meters high and 6 meters thick along its perimeter.

Prince Dovmont, originally from Lithuania, ruled Pskov from 1266 to 1299, establishing independence from Novgorod and constructing defensive fortifications around the city.

Between the 13th and 18th centuries, this area contained 18 Orthodox churches, making it the largest concentration of religious buildings in medieval Russia.

The Prikaz Chamber, built in 1693, functions as a museum with exhibitions about Pskov's history, offering guided tours and educational programs.

The site preserves a 1972 metal installation commemorating the Battle on Ice, featuring Prince Dovmont's sword and shields representing participating medieval cities.
