Замкова гора, Historical hill in Zhytomyr, Ukraine
Castle Hill stands as a rocky elevation above the Kamyanka River, marking the central point where the first settlement of Zhytomyr began in 884.
Archaeological research in 2016 uncovered artifacts from the 8th-9th centuries, including ceramic fragments of the Luka-Raikovetska culture and materials from the Eneolithic-Bronze Age period.
The hill features several monuments including the District Castle, 12th-13th century settlements, and the Saint Sofia Cathedral with its bell tower from 1737.
The hill currently houses a public square with a memorial sign, though access to its summit remains restricted during wartime for security measures.
The original castle burned down in 1802, and by 1837 the site was transformed into a municipal garden, leaving only street names to commemorate its fortified past.
