1. Title: Yeni-Kale Fortress, Kerch, Crimea, Ukraine - A 17th Century Ottoman Masterpiece Overlooking the Black Sea The enchanting image showcases the Yeni-Kale Fortress, a historic Ottoman castle nestled along the picturesque coast of Kerch in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine. Built between 1699 and 1706 under the direction of the Italian architect Goloppo, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire. Situated on a strategic location near the Kerch Strait, the fortress was designed to protect the peninsula from potential invaders. Its imposing silhouette, marked by towering towers and fortified walls, stands proudly against the backdrop of the setting sun, casting long shadows over the tranquil waters of the Black Sea. The Yeni-Kale Fortress, also known as the New Castle, is an exceptional example of Islamic and European architectural fusion. Its exterior boasts a unique blend of Ottoman and Italian influences, with intricate decorative elements and grandiose structures that reflect the grandeur of the Ottoman age. As the sun begins to set, the fortress transforms into a breathtaking sight, with the warm hues of the evening sky reflecting off the calm waters of the Black Sea. The ruins of the adjacent convert, which once housed a community of Islamic scholars, add an air of mystique to the already captivating scene. The Yeni-Kale Fortress remains an essential piece of Crimea's history, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's complex past and its unique blend of cultures. This image, with its stunning composition and rich historical significance, is a must-have for any collection of architectural or historical prints.
