Guldursun-Kala, Archaeological fortress in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan.
The Guldursun-Kala fortress extends across 35 hectares with rectangular foundations and features double-row adobe walls equipped with strategic loopholes for defense.
The fortress experienced multiple periods of construction, beginning in the 2nd century BC, followed by restoration in the 12th century, until its destruction by Mongol forces.
Archaeological excavations within the fortress walls revealed numerous artifacts, including terracotta figures, bronze items, jewelry, and coins from ancient and medieval periods.
The site maintains its original defensive structures with eight ground-floor chambers, offering visitors a clear view of medieval military architecture.
The fortress contains religious chambers with double arches, where excavators discovered miniature vessels and ceramics decorated with mythological motifs.
