Genoese fortress Kafa

Genoese fortress, Genoese fortress
Crimea, Feodosiya
The Genoese fortress was built in the 14th century to defend its largest possession in the Crimea - Kafa. The fortress had two lines of fortifications: the citadel and the outer part. The length of the walls of the citadel was 718 m, of which 469 m were preserved. The walls reached 11 m in height and 2 m in thickness. The citadel housed the consular palace, the treasury, the residence of the Latin bishop, the courthouse, warehouses and shops of especially valuable goods. In the 19th century, most of the buildings were dismantled. The southern wall of the citadel with two towers, part of the western wall, a bridge, Turkish baths and several churches have survived to this day.

The fortress might have impressed, intrigued, interested and made me go to Google, but the impression remained depressing. Human-sized grass, rubbish, incomprehensible rabble. I don't want to go there again.
