The first wooden fortifications were built in the area before the 1241 Mongol invasion of Rus, during which they were subsequently destroyed. The ruins were later reconstructed by Knyaz Daniil from the Ostrogky family on the city's Sudovy Hill ("castle hill"). Since then, more additions and reconstructions were carried out, although the complex still retains its Medieval architecture. The castle complex consists of four main structures: the Guard Tower ("Vezha murovana") where the castle's museum is located, the Bohoyavlenska Church, the New Tower, and the Belltower (constructed in 1905).
Ostroh Castle | History
The castle is located on the top of an irregular plateau, whose southern, eastern and northern slopes are abrupt, with the softer western slope, towards the modern village of Kastro, offering the easiest access. The heart of the fortress consists of a large hexagonal keep, complemented towards the west, where the terrain is more accessible, by an additional outer wall, likewise of irregular polygonal outline, enclosing a second, much wider courtyard (the outer ward).

Behind the first ward lies the lower courtyard of the castle, which is connected to the first ward with via a Gothic entrance gate with a pointed arch. During the Middle Ages craftsmen and servants had their houses on the lower courtyard, protected from possible attackers by a 14th-century fortification wall that runs all along the east side of the castle. Other buildings that were located on the lower courtyard are: a kitchen, an oven for bread, a smithy, stables and a storage for fodder and straw. Nowadays the lower courtyard houses an amphitheatre with stage and facilities for performers, museum exhibition, toilets for visitors and a souvenir shop.

Not a lot is known about the initial construction of Ligęza's fortress (castle). No information about the architect nor scripture of the fortress has been preserved. Most of the information gathered about the complex is of the stock-taking done by Zygmund Hendel in 1897. The main building of the complex was fortificated with walls, it had several levels and a double-courtyard located in the northern part of the complex. The complex's floor plan was similar to that of a square. Close by to the complex there was a number of warehouses - whose function remains uncertain. The whole complex and warehouses were surrounded by a thick defensive wall - whose thickness passed 1,5 metres.

From the 16th century on, the castle disappears from the sources and from local toponymy; as a result, various hypotheses were put forward by later scholars as to its location based on the indications in the medieval sources. Suggested identifications include the ruined castles at Palaiokastro, Platiana (now identified with medieval Acumba), Samiko on the coast, Chrysouli near Mount Minthi, and on the peak of Mount Smerna. The latter two locations are the most common to be identified as medieval Araklovon.

At first the site of the Vorontsov Palace was proposed and then the site of the Chernyshev residence, which later became the site of the Mariinsky Palace. Both options were rejected by Alexander I as being unnecessarily expensive and complex, instead selecting a new site in the city centre for development. The site eventually chosen was a space that had previously seen little development, between the confluence of the Fontanka and Moyka Rivers, the Griboyedov Canal and Nevsky Prospect. It had been used as garden and hunting space, with Empress Elizabeth's Summer Palace, and later Emperor Paul's Mikhailovsky Castle being located nearby.

The primo castello (first castle) is a fortification located along the path that runs through the entire rock settlement. The fortification is the first of two elevated fortifications or "rocche" shaping the castle ruins of medieval Vitozza. The structure shows thick walls of blocks of tuff, which would take up a door that opened along the access route. The remains of the fortress are visible on both sides of the path that forks just before. On the north side, the building was surrounded by a moat, now rendered invisible by vegetation, which further protected the defensive structure. The secondo castello (second castle) is a fortified structure located along the path leading to the "columbaria" (caves used for rearing poultry) and the source of the river Lente.

The descent, located between two hills, is the shortest passageway from the historic Old or Upper Town (; "Kniazivs’ka Hora") to the commercial Podil neighborhood. One of the hills, known as "Uzdyhal’nytsia", was the place where pre-Christian idols once stood (see: Baptism of Kyiv), and another hill, called Zamkova Hora, served as a castle hill during the Middle Ages. For many centuries, this passageway was very steep and inconvenient, that's the reason why there were not any settlements for a long time. The first buildings were erected here only in the 17th century, and the first apartment buildings began appearing towards the end of the 19th century.

The fortress is located on top of the tall, steep rocky hill which sharply declines into the Đetinja river. The river meanders around the rock, surrounding the fortress from three sides and preventing the access. The fortress actually sits on a cliff, and elevates above the final section of the deep canyon-like gorge of the Đetinja. It is situated on the river's left bank.
Stari Grad, Užice | Location
The three parts of the complex (east, west and south) all had posterns with battery artillery. The fortification was strengthened by a bastion, located in the south-east corner of the complex's square formation. It is likely that another one stood in the south-west of the complex. There is no other identification for the former existence of two other bastions, although during Ligęza's reign they might have been planned. The gate which allowed access to head into the castle was located, where it currently is, in the middle of the western wall. The main reason for Ligęza to build such powerful and well defended fortress may have been to so to underline his importance, authority and wealth, making his fortress and fortifications to have a greater role for repressing the people, and accepting his reign, than actually serving as a defensive fortress.

On the Austro-Hungarian map there is another church to the north, at the site of the present day church of St. Petrus in the Donji Žirovac. That church was not named on map, so one can only assume that the tale is correct, and that the other church was there the same time, possibly still being built, or Donji Žirovac had older church at the same spot. However, according to tradition, the location near the bridge was also not the first church location.

Edwards discovered that the Byzantines are responsible for the first building period (perhaps with some Arab additions) and that the second building period, which defines most of the complex, is from the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia during the 12th or 13th century. There is no evidence to associate Gökvelioğlu with the castle of Vaner, which appears in the coronation list of Leo I, King of Armenia. An extensive photographic survey and plan of Güveloğlu Castle was made between 1973 and 1981.

The reserve consists of natural and artificial caves, castle and monastery carved in Early and Middle Ages. According to the Azerbaijani side, Keshikchi gala (Guardian castle) was built by the native population of Caucasus Albania in V century AD and meant “guardian”. Therefore, it is considered as similar to the other castles in Azerbaijan territory because of its architectural structure characteristics. It was discovered that the Keshikchi gala in the area was originally built for defense purposes in the Middle Ages, where it was inhabited by the ancient Caucasian Albanian. The natural caves date back in the early stages and the artificial caves are considered to be found between in 9th and15th centuries.

Another problem often discussed in the Russian literature on the history of the Amur valley region is the location of various "ostrogs" (forts, or sometimes just slightly fortified winter camps) built by the raiders of Yerofey Khabarov and at a number of sites along the Amur and its tributaries, and the identification of various "ostrogs" whose names we know from the historical account with the 17th-century archaeological sites that have been discovered on the Amur since the 1850s. Particular attention is often paid to Fort Achansk, or "Achansky Gorodok" - a winter camp used by Khabarov's band in the land of the Achan people (a Nanai tribe) in 1651/52, which in March 1652 became the site of the first engagement between the Russian Cossacks and Manchu troops, and which has traditionally been considered the predecessor of the later Khabarovsk.
