It is believed that the Askana Castle was built in the 4th century. To the right of the fortress gate the trace of an old building is clearly visible – steps carved in the rock.An old cellar was also discovered there.

The mentioned stone steps indicate that they were used by the inhabitants and guards of the fortress to enter some old building.

The Askana Castle consisted of two towers, a chapel of red marble and several wooden huts. The chapel and the wooden huts are very dilapidated. Around the inner and outer boundaries, the warriors’ areas were arranged; one can still see the holes from the weapons hitting the walls of the fortress.
