Belkin Lunette, Military stronghold in Sevastopol, Crimea.

The fortification features thick stone walls, defensive positions, and strategic placement overlooking the surrounding terrain near the Black Sea coast.

Constructed around 1840, Belkin Lunette served as a critical defense point during multiple conflicts, including the Crimean War and World War II.

The stronghold represents a testament to military engineering principles of the 19th century, incorporating elements of Russian defensive architecture.

Visitors can access the fortification through guided tours, which provide detailed information about the structure's military significance and construction methods.

In June 1942, a garrison of 70 soldiers maintained control of the lunette for three days, enabling the evacuation of ships from Sevastopol's port.
