Fort Pulaski

Fort Pulaski is a historic Civil War-era fortress near Savannah, Georgia, built in the 19th century to defend the coast from invasion. Made of brick and concrete, it features thick walls and strategic design to withstand artillery attacks. In 1862, Union forces bombarded and captured the fort, demonstrating the importance of modern artillery and leading to changes in military engineering. Today, it’s a National Monument where visitors can explore its walls, learn about Civil War history, and see how artillery and fortifications were used in warfare.
