The old coastal road from Alushta to Kuchuk Lambat is 9 versts and 400 sazhens. The halfway point is marked by the Demir Khapu (iron gate). From there the remains of a wall leading down to the shore are visible. Demir Khapu and Kastel Mountain both now belong to Buyuk Lambat. Numerous houses, enclosed behind what was once a fortification, are still visible as well, high up on the moutain. This is the most likely site of the place called on old maps (14th-16th centuries) Pangropoli or Nagropoli. Here among the ruins there are a great many fragments of pottery and pieces of limestone that were clearly once part of the walls. The previous owner of Kastel Mountain, indicated on the plan drawn up in 1832 that there are three churches among these ruins (the churches of Sts. John, Constantine, and Nicholas) but Keppen found no evidence of this. (The property was purchased by D.ST.Sov Kushnikov; he named the dacha in honor of his daughter: Serafimovka.) The ruins of a monastery are nearby as well. The Tatars call it Ay-Brokul (monastery of St. Prokula). Water was once fed from the Vrisi fountain past the monastery to Kastel Mountain. The elaborate pipe system was discovered when engineers began laying the new road in 1833. Keppen points out that "Vrisi" is from the Greek for "water source."(158-160)
