Choban-Kule, Medieval fortress near Morske village, Crimea.
The stone tower of Choban-Kule rises above steep slopes, featuring thick walls and defensive structures from the fifteenth century construction period.
The Genoese brothers di Guasco constructed this defensive complex in 1500, establishing a strategic point for monitoring maritime activities along the coast.
The name Choban-Kule translates to Shepherd's Tower, reflecting the local traditions and historical connections between maritime defense and pastoral activities.
Visitors can reach the fortress by taking a bus from Sudak to Morske village, followed by a thirty-minute walk along marked paths.
From the tower summit, observers can see the entire coastline spanning from Cape Meganom to Mount Bear, covering multiple maritime navigation points.
