Ruínas históricas nos montes Kaçkar

Historic Castle Ruins

The Kaçkar Mountains and the surrounding Black Sea coastline are home to a network of medieval fortifications and ancient settlements. These sites, including the dramatic Zilkale in the Fırtına Valley and the Byzantine-era Rize Castle, served as strategic military outposts along historical trade routes. The list also features the stone architecture of the Livera region, encompassing traditional manor houses, watchtowers, and church ruins that reflect the diverse cultural heritage of this mountainous landscape.
