I came to Derbent to see its main attraction - the fortress. There you can climb a steep stone staircase or drive directly to the top of the mountain to the fortress by car. Entrance to the territory of the fortress and the museum - 250 rubles. The territory of the fortress is not very large, you can walk along the walls, some of which can be climbed. From above there is a beautiful view of the city and the sea. There is little left inside, there are several underground prisons - Zindanov, a water storage, a collection of stone anchors. There is also a small exhibition of paintings in a detached building. There is also a small museum on the territory where you can see various archaeological finds, coins, jugs, weapons and clothes. Interesting in principle. There is also a small souvenir shop. Definitely worth a visit.
