Chernihiv Fortress Guns, Historic artillery collection in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine
The fortress displays twelve cast-iron cannons positioned along the defensive rampart, representing military engineering from the seventeenth century.
The artillery pieces were installed as part of the fortress defense system, which protected the city against external threats during medieval conflicts.
These cannons stand near monuments of Taras Shevchenko and Alexander Pushkin in Val Park, connecting military history with literary heritage.
Visitors can access the cannons through Preobrazhenska Street and combine their visit with exploration of nearby eleventh-century churches.
The collection includes different types of artillery pieces, each weighing several tons and featuring specific casting marks from various European foundries.
