Medieval Fortress Found in Southwestern Crimea’s Layered Defensive Network

Archaeologists in southwestern Crimea have identified a previously unknown medieval fortress near the village of Rodnoye, a discovery that could add an important new piece to the region’s famously layered defensive landscape. The site is described as an “isar,” a type of Turkic-Byzantine fortified outpost common in Crimea and the wider Black Sea area. What makes this one stand out is its layout and, unusually, the presence of two towers, a feature researchers say is rare for comparable sites.

A Rare Two-tower “isar” Has Been Found
According to Heritage Daily, the fortress covers roughly 0.9 hectares (2.2 acres) and is enclosed by rubble stone walls bonded with mortar. Excavations documented substantial stone foundations up to 0.8 meters high and about 0.5 meters wide, with surviving masonry sections ranging between 0.2 and 0.5 meters. Two rectangular tower foundations were recorded on the southeastern side, hinting at a more complex defensive plan than archaeologists usually see at isar sites.
