Fortress of Saint Dimitry of Rostov

The Fortress of Saint Dmitry of Rostov (Russian: Крепость Святого Димитрия Ростовского) was a fortification structure of the Russian Empire. In the middle of the 18th century it was of great military and strategic importance and also was the most powerful among the southern fortresses of Russia. The city of Rostov-on-Don was named after the fortress.

The fortress was never a direct place of any military operations; at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774, it lost the importance of border fortification. From one of its former vorstadt the city of Rostov-on-Don of Ekaterinoslav Governorate was established by 1811. In 1835 the garrison and military property of the Rostov Fortress was transferred to Anapa. The ramparts and bastions were demolished at the end of the 19th century.
