Петровская крепость, Military fortress in Novopetrivka, Ukraine
The Petrovska fortress contains four connected citadel fortifications with towers, embrasures, powder cellars, barracks, infirmary, and a church within its perimeter.
Built between 1770 and 1774 under Catherine II's orders, this fortress formed part of the Dnieper defense line protecting against Nogai and Turkish raids.
The fortress holds architectural elements combining military engineering with local building techniques, representing 18th-century fortification methods in Eastern Europe.
Visitors can access the fortress remains through guided tours, with nearby facilities including medical centers, pharmacies, shops, and markets in Novopetrivka.
In 1854, the fortress withstood artillery fire from French forces, marking the single instance of its active military engagement throughout its existence.
