The Fortress of
Bendery, Moldova
Bendery is within the internationally recognized borders
of Moldova, but since 1992 has been under the de facto
control of the unrecognized Transnistria Republic.
In 1538, the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent
conquered (Tighina) from Moldavia, and renamed it
Bender. Its fortifications were developed into a full fortress
under the same name under the supervision of the Turkish
architect Koji Mimar Sinan. Over the centuries, it changed
hands multiple times from Turkish to Russian control. (Wikipedia)
