A trip to the Akkerman Fortress

We are still waiting on a conclusion from the inspector. To get our minds off things a little, we took a walk down the street 10-12 blocks to the Akkerman fortress, built in the 13th century. It was very large and impressive. Here are some pics:

Where the moat used to be - that was a large, deep moat!

The entrance to the fortress

The partially frozen Black Sea outside the fortress

Some catapaults

Some cannons

The area around the fortress is very old and dilapidated
