Kyz-Kule, Medieval castle in Bakhchysarai Raion, Ukraine.
The ancient fortified structure stands atop a hill, featuring thick stone walls and strategic defensive positions overlooking the surrounding territory of Bakhchysarai Raion.
During medieval times, Kyz-Kule functioned as a vital defensive stronghold, protecting trade routes and monitoring movements across the region through its watchtower system.
The architecture of Kyz-Kule reflects the influence of multiple civilizations, combining military engineering techniques from different periods of Crimean history.
