Biysk Fortress, Military fortress in Biysk, Russia
The fortress stands on the banks of the Biya River, featuring defensive structures built according to 18th-century Russian military architecture specifications.
Constructed in 1718 under orders from Peter the Great, the fortress marked Russian territorial expansion into southern Siberia and the Altai region.
The fortress represents early Russian influence in Siberia, with structures reflecting the defensive needs and construction methods of imperial military outposts.
Located near modern Biysk's center, the fortress site connects to the city's transportation network including railways and the Novosibirsk-Tashanta highway.
The fortress forms part of the Siberian Line, a network of fortifications that enabled Russian control over trade routes to Mongolia and Central Asia.
