Tustan, Medieval hillfort in Urych, Ukraine
The stone fortress stands among sandstone cliffs reaching heights of 50 meters in the Skole district of the Carpathian Mountains.
Between the 9th and 13th centuries, this fortress controlled major trade routes, including the Salt Road from Galicia to Central Europe.
The site contains 270 ancient petroglyphs depicting solar symbols, spirals, wheels with spokes, dancers, and serpentine lines carved into the rocks.
The fortress grounds include 4,000 preserved rock cavities, allowing researchers to create detailed three-dimensional reconstructions of the medieval structures.
The spring at the base of the cliffs holds water considered beneficial for eye ailments according to local traditions.
