About Soroca Fortress
The Soroca Fort is a historic fort in the Republic of Moldova, in the modern-day city of Soroca. The city has its origin in the medieval Genoese trade post of Olchionia, or Alchona. It is known for its well-preserved stronghold, established by the Moldavian Prince Stephen the Great in 1499. The original wooden fort, which defended a ford over the Dniester, was an important link in the chain of fortifications which comprised four forts (also Akkerman, Khotyn, and Tighina) on the Dniester, two forts on the Danube and three forts on the north border of medieval Moldova.
