Tarakanivskiy Fort, 19th-century military fortification in Tarakaniv, Ukraine.
The diamond-shaped structure spans 240 meters on each side, featuring two-story barracks connected through underground passages and 105 casemates for military personnel.
The fortress construction started in 1860 under Eduard Totleben's direction, requiring 66 million rubles and incorporating modern concrete alongside traditional stone and brick materials.
The fort remains a testament to Russian Empire's western border defense strategy, built after Poland's third partition to protect the strategic Lviv-Kyiv railway line.
Visitors need to exercise caution when exploring the fort due to existing underground traps, dense vegetation, and structural instability of certain areas.
The structure contains burial sites of 200 Austrian soldiers from World War I beneath its walls, with documented military confrontations between Russian and Austrian forces.
