Dedicated to the ancient historical and military architectural monument, one of the most original fortifications of the late Middle Ages in Central Europe. The castle was built in the south-west of modern Mukachevo on a mountain of volcanic origin at an altitude of 188 m above sea level and 68 m above the central part of the city. For centuries, he reliably protected the inhabitants of the city from enemies. Here trade and military strategic routes intersected, which went from the South to the North, from the West to the East, for the protection of which the castle was laid. During its existence, the fortress has been rebuilt and improved more than once.
