Ancient castles are filled with the secrets of past centuries and amazing legends. Today I will show some shots of the famous Uzhhorod Castle, the history of which is surprisingly interesting and rich. I visited there in March 2018.
Uzhhorod Castle is a real battle stronghold that has seen many battles and sieges. This austere building has only two floors, it is guarded by formidable square towers, and from above tourists are gloomily gazed at the openings of the loopholes. The thickness of the walls reaches 3 meters, and the fortifications are designed with the care of a genius.
The fortress on this place has existed since ancient times. No one can say exactly when it was built. But in the IX century. written sources already mention the castle, although it was not made of stone, but of wood.
The photos were taken with my Xiaomi MI A1 smartphone.
