The results of a macroseismic study of the late medieval Turkish Yeni-Kale fortress in Eastern Crimea are described. Despite the fact that the fortress’ structures were considerably affected by local landslide activity, military operations during the Crimean War, the Civil War, and the WWII, as well as by anthropogenic factors, such as railroads, etc., numerous specific deformations in the fortress walls suggest that the existing destruction and damage might be explained by strong seismic impact
