Белзский детинец, Medieval fortress in Belz, Ukraine.
The rectangular fortress covers 4 hectares of land bordered by the Solokiya River, with earthen ramparts reinforced by wooden structures.
The fortress emerged in the 9th century as a defensive structure of the Buzhan tribe and later became the center of the Belz principality.
Archaeological excavations at the fortress site revealed ancient pottery, tools, and remnants of defensive structures from various historical periods.
The fortress location near the Ukrainian-Polish border makes it accessible from both countries through the nearby road network.
The fortress walls incorporated wooden chambers filled with earth, creating a complex defensive system along the river bank.
