Aslan Horod

Aslan Horod was one of the fortified places guarding the lower Dnipro crossing near Tavan. Also known as Islam-Kermen, it stood on the left bank opposite the fortifications of the right bank and the river islands. The crossing was a strategic point for the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire, as well as for armies and Cossack flotillas advancing down the Dnipro. The forts were dismantled under the terms of the 1700 Treaty of Constantinople.
