Spanish Fortifications

Spanish fortifications are defensive structures built by Spain to protect its territories from invasions, pirates, and rival powers. These include walls, forts, and watchtowers strategically placed along coastlines, borders, and important routes. Designed with thick walls, battlements, and sometimes artillery positions, they aimed to defend key locations and control access. Their architecture evolved over centuries, reflecting advancements in military technology and tactics. These fortifications served both as military defenses and symbols of Spanish authority, and many remain as historical landmarks today.
