Fortifications of Warsaw

The Fortifications of Warsaw refer to a series of defensive structures built around the capital of Poland, particularly during the 19th century. Designed to protect the city from invasions, these fortifications included walls, bastions, and forts, many of which were constructed following European military architecture principles. They were part of efforts to modernize Warsaw's defenses, especially during periods of political turmoil. While some of these structures were damaged or destroyed during conflicts, remnants still exist today, serving as historical landmarks that highlight Warsaw's complex military history and its resilience through various invasions and wars.
