Zaliztsi Castle, 16th century castle in Zaliztsi, Ukraine
The rectangular fortification features four corner towers, defensive walls, and a moat system surrounding the central courtyard along the Seret River bank.
Martin Kamyanetsky established this defensive stronghold in 1516, which later served as a gathering point for False Dmitriy I's forces against Moscow in 1603.
The castle passed through several noble families, including the Vyshnevetskys and Potockis, who transformed it from a military fortress into a residential palace complex.
The remaining structures include fragments of northern and western walls, basement levels with narrow corridors, and parts of a five-sided tower measuring 1.5 to 2 meters high.
During the 1675 Turkish-Tatar siege, defenders employed a black chicken for divination practices to predict the outcome of the battle.
