Fortress Kinburn

Fortress Kinburn
Ukraine, Ochakiv
Kinburn Fortress is a former 15th-century Turkish fortress on the western end of the Kinburn Spit. In 1736, during a raid by a detachment of Russian troops under the command of General Leontiev, the Kinburn fortress was captured and destroyed, but the returning Turks rebuilt it. In 1774, the fortress was ceded to Russia under the Kuchuk-Kainarji peace treaty. Under the leadership of General-General A.V. Suvorov, new fortifications were built, which helped to defeat the Turkish landing on the Kinburg Spit in 1787.
