Choban-Kule Tower

Chaban-Kule Tower, Choban-Kale
Crimea, Morske
Five kilometers from the village of "Morskoe", in the area with. Privetnoye, Cape Agira is located, with the medieval tower "Choban-Kule" crowning it, which means Shepherd's Tower. It is surrounded by the remains of ancient buildings and defensive walls. It is believed that the tower belongs to the remains of the tower complex of the medieval fortress "Tasili", belonging to the Genoese feudal brothers di Guasco, known for their ferocity, unbridled cruelty and unwillingness to obey the Sudak community.

The tower is built of fairly massive stones (raised here, most likely from the sea) and pieces of rock. The walls reach a thickness of 2-3 meters. Its height is now approximately 9-10 meters. The entrance to the tower is located on the southwestern side and is badly damaged. The upper part of the tower was also destroyed, probably mainly due to tourists.

Inside the tower, in the wall, there is a rather deep niche with an opening to the outside, the purpose of which can be very diverse. The fireplace and water basins located in the basement have been preserved.
On the eastern side of the tower, the remains of defensive walls are still visible. According to some sources, a temple was located not far from the tower. Massive ruins at the foot of the tower bear the outlines of some buildings. Here, nearby, below from the North and East sides, excavations are probably being carried out.

According to some reports (also confirmed by local residents) there was a passage from the tower to the foot of the cape, which was blown up in the middle of the twentieth century.
