Photographer’s Note
Töpe Kermen(the fortress on a Mountain) appeared in the 6th century as a fortress on the border of the Byzantine possesions in Taurica. In the 12-13th centuries, a small urban settlement appeared on the plateau,and the whole area was densely built up. At the end of the 13th-middle of the 14th century, Töpe Kermen suffered an enemy attack, after that the life on the plateau decayed. This site is particulary noteworthy for a high concentration of cave structures. There are about 250 known of them within an area of about 1 ha.
