Izmail Fortress, Military fortress in Izmail, Ukraine.
The stone and brick fortress contains multiple bastions and towers positioned along defensive walls measuring several kilometers in circumference.
Russian forces under General Alexander Suvorov captured the Ottoman stronghold during a decisive military operation on December 22, 1790.
The fortress grounds host military reenactments throughout the year, demonstrating historical combat techniques and period-accurate weaponry.
