Ivangorod Fortress in Ivangorod, Russia, is an impressive medieval fortification dating back to 1492. Constructed by order of Ivan III of Russia, the fortress was built to defend the western borders of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and to counterbalance the Teutonic Knights' stronghold in Narva, just across the Narva River. The fortress features robust stone walls, towers, and a strategic position overlooking the river, making it a formidable defensive structure. Over the centuries, it has witnessed numerous battles and sieges, reflecting the turbulent history of the region.
