Constantinogorsk Fortress, Military fortress in Pyatigorsk, Russia
The fortress features four corners with bastions and semi-bastions, positioned at the intersection of the Zolotukha and Podkumok rivers in southern Russia.
Constructed between 1780 and 1783, the fortress served as headquarters for the Tenginsky Regiment in 1819, marking the division between Western and Eastern Caucasus.
The fortress contained a wooden church built in 1783, representing the religious and military presence of the Russian Empire in the Caucasus region.
Visitors can explore the fortress grounds daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM without admission fees, with ongoing restoration work of the moat and defensive structures.
The garrison, ranging from 500 to 1500 soldiers, never experienced direct attacks throughout its operational period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
