The Fortress of St. Elizabeth (Ukrainian: Фортеця Святої Єлисавети, also known locally as "earthworks"[1]) is former earthen fortress in the form of a six-pointed star in the city of Kropyvnytskyi in central Ukraine, which became the main symbol of the city.[2]
It is unique in that there are no more than ten fortresses of this type in Europe.[3]
