Skala-Podilska Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Skala-Podilska, Ukraine.

The castle structure includes defensive walls that merge at an acute angle and contains the remains of a powder tower on a rocky elevation.

Built by the Koriatovych princes in the 14th century, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1516 under Polish king Sigismund I's directive to Stanislav Lantskoronski.

The fortress represented a critical defensive position along the Zbruch River, protecting the region from Ottoman and Tatar military advances for centuries.

The castle ruins stand on elevated ground near the center of Skala-Podilska, offering views of the surrounding Ternopil Oblast landscape.

The castle survived multiple sieges until 1672, when Turkish forces found only remnants of the structure, leading to its permanent state of deterioration.
