According to various sources, the beginning of the construction of the fortress dates back to the 17th - 18th centuries A.D. e. The materials from the built fortress (shell stone) give grounds that the fortress was built relatively at the same time as the Derbent citadel.

The fortress is built in a special way - from the outside it seems very strong, monolithic. The walls are more than 2 meters thick [1], still in good condition, and loopholes have also been preserved. In the old days, the fortress was two-story, but now the first floor is almost completely covered with earth, and therefore it seems higher from the outside than from the inside.
