Why Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle matters
The fortress stands at the neck of a rocky peninsula, guarding the only land approach to the old town, with the Smotrych canyon on all sides. It was built and expanded over many centuries, and changed hands between the powers of the region. The towers and walls are impressive from the bridge, and you can walk inside. Please check travel advice before visiting.
