Line 43: The original wooden fort, which defended a [[Ford (crossing)\|ford]] over the [[Dniester]] (Moldovan/Romanian: ''Nistru''), was an important link in the chain of fortifications which comprised four forts (e.g. [[Akkerman]] and [[Khotin]]) on the Dniester, two forts on the Danube and three forts on the north border of medieval Moldova. Between 1543 and 1546 under the rule of [[Petru Rareş]], the fortress was rebuilt in stone as a perfect circle with five bastions situated at equal distances. During the [[Great Turkish War]], [[John Sobieski]]'s forces successfully defended the fortress against the Ottomans. It was of vital military importance during the [[Pruth Campaign]] of [[Peter the Great]] in 1711. The stronghold was sacked by the Russians in the [[Russo-Turkish War (1735–1739)]]. The Soroca fortress is an important ~~atraction~~attraction in [[Soroca]], having preserved cultures and kept the old Soroca in the present day. ==See also== * [[Nicolae Bulat]] ==External links==
