A legend says that once in this divinely beautiful place there lived a princess. Her parents wanted her to marry a guy whom they saw as most appropriate. As you have already probably guessed, there was a problem: she loved someone else and refused to obey. As a disciplinary measure very popular among princesses' parents in those dark times, she was confined in a tower at the top of the Genova Fortress for a chance to reconsider her position. Well, the only option she saw was - yes, you guessed it again - to jump down from the window and die. Hence the name - the Girl's Tower - which is supposed to remind us of the power of an exalted girl's love. Nowadays, Sudak is a famous Crimean seaside resort, and the Genova Fortress is deemed one of the most eminent objects of note in Crimea. Translated into English by Kirill Manucharov
