Fortess

A fortress is a large, fortified structure built to defend against enemies and protect inhabitants during conflicts or invasions. It typically features thick walls, watchtowers, gates, and defensive barriers designed to withstand attacks. Fortresses are strategic locations, often situated on high ground or important routes, to provide visibility and control over the surrounding area. Historically used by armies, rulers, or communities, they serve both as military strongholds and symbols of power and security. Modern equivalents include castles, forts, and even military bases, all emphasizing protection and defense as their primary purpose.
