Check out these star forts from across Europe. This kind of structure, first seen in Italy in the mid-15th century, was designed so that an attack on any individual wall could be defended from the two adjacent star points by shooting at the enemy from behind. Some enclose entire towns, while others protect a key building like a castle, fortress, or barracks.
Overviews seen here include:
- Nossa Senhora da Graça in Alcáçova, Portugal
- Palmanova, Italy
- Bourtange in Groningen, The Netherlands
- Naarden, The Netherlands
- Kastellet in Copenhagen, Denmark
