Sujuk-Qale, Ottoman fortress in Novorossiysk, Russia.
The stone fortification stands on elevated ground near the Black Sea coast, featuring thick defensive walls and strategic observation points.
Built in the 16th century during Ottoman expansion, Sujuk-Qale controlled maritime routes and defended the territory against naval invasions.
The fortress represents the intersection of Turkish and Russian military architecture, reflecting different construction techniques from multiple centuries.
The fortress grounds open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available in Russian and English through the local tourism office.
The fortress contains underground chambers and tunnels that connected different sections, allowing defenders to move unseen during military operations.
