Руська брама, Medieval fortification gate in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine.
The Ruska Brama gate complex spans 230 meters along the Smotrych River canyon, featuring eight towers connected by defensive walls with water locks.
Construction of this defensive structure began in the 15th century and continued through the 1530s and 1540s, forming a critical part of the city defenses.
The gate represents Ukrainian military engineering techniques, combining stone fortification methods with an advanced water control system through integrated locks.
Visitors can explore the entire fortification complex, including the preserved towers, walls, and the ancient water lock system within the canyon.
The gate's water lock system could raise the river level around the city island, creating an additional defensive barrier during military conflicts.
