The Tower-Ruin The tower-ruin is one of the most romantic places in Tsaritsyno. It’s situated near « Milovida ». It’s reproduce a part of an ancient fortress wall with a corner tower. « Antiquity » of the building is emphasized with the crude masonry and white-stone carved detail. Tower-ruin makes a great view on itself. The building reproduces the corner tower and the parts of the tumbledown fortress wall in miniature. First, the open-work belvedere with the steeple finishes the tower with the gothic doorway and lattice windows. Stairs to the belvedere is constructed along the crest of the wall so the stairs were named « The Devil’s Stairs » in XIX century. Nowadays the tower has lost the belvedere, edges of each walls and almost all footsteps. And rock-climbers continue destroy it because they use this place for their trainings.
