Fortresses, also known as strongholds or citadels, are buildings or complexes strategically designed and constructed for military defense, typically in medieval times. They served as fortified locations to protect against enemy invasions, providing a secure place for military forces and civilians during sieges. Fortresses often include features like thick walls, towers, and ditches to resist attacks and delay the progress of invaders. Over time, many fortresses have transitioned into historical monuments and tourist attractions.
