Photo Focus: Cliffside Fortifications
This image highlights the steep, defensive nature of Kaliakra's cliffs and the medieval fortification walls built along them. The natural topography made the cape an ideal stronghold, requiring defense only on the narrow land side.
Visual Context
The photo emphasizes the dramatic red rock formations that give the cape its name ('Kaliakra' means 'Beautiful Cape' in Greek) and the sheer drop to the sea.
