Detinets

Detinets

 

the inner fortification in a medieval Russian city; it protected with walls and towers the prince’s residence and the court of high church officials. The term detinets is used in the chronicles up until the 14th century, when it is replaced by the name kremV (kremlin) or by the words for “city”—grad and gorod —which were in use at the same time.
