Built in the 13th century by the Republic of Genoa, it's a very interesting and well preserved Old Town.

I found this nice view of the citadel of Briançon a long time ago, but I was always waiting for great lighting conditions to shoot it. This morning, the light was quite good, but a kind of haze reduced the contrast a lot... So I had to play with LightRoom and PS to get a more punchy image. I also repainted one of the houses, they all have nice pastel colors except one... Can you guess which one?

This rock formation stands like a citadel at the top of Jacob's Ladder. In these wet and misty conditions it really does look like a fortress protecting the upper reaches of Ben Lomond.
The forbidding entrance to the Citadel, the centre piece of the massive 19th Century Western Heights fortifications at Dover, designed to defend the town in the event of an attack by the Napoleonic hordes. More recently it was used to keep people in, firstly young offenders, then up to 2015, asylum-seekers.
As Lesk Alzael describes her SIM creation ►The Citadel is a lost paradise. In the shadow of a high reed.

Fast ice and old, weather worn bergs clinging to the edge of the Antarctic continent. And penguins of course :)
A stone Citadel was built on the Pigeon Island (Guvercin Ada) during the Byzantine Empire. The Island is now connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. The Citadel was used as a defensive outpost through the years.
Today the Citadel is host to the lighthouse, a restaurant, and a nightclub, and is a popular local hang-out.

A pretty standard view, but the swoosh of colour surrounded by the darkness of this night-time scene at Carlisle Citadel Station caught my eye. A southbound TPE Nova 2 unit pauses at platform 4 with a Manchester Airport bound service. A long exposure, 1.6 seconds employed to achieve F16, and the starburst effect on those painfully bright headlights. Tuesday 14.12.21.

A view across the rooftops of the Cité de Carcassonne towards the Chateau Comtal. A UNESCO world heritage site in Occitania, France.
A marvel of both grace and strength, the Citadel de Seraphis stands as the unshakable heart of the Southern Kingdom. Its towering spires reach toward the heavens, sculpted with an elegance that speaks not only of the artistry of its builders but of the might that drives its purpose. Perched proudly above the city, the Citadel surveys the vast landscape, its alabaster walls gleaming in the sun like a beacon of hope and power.
A sanctuary for the brightest minds and most gifted souls, the Citadel beckons all who seek the pursuit of knowledge. Within its hallowed halls, the boundaries between beauty and strength blur, as the Citadel de Seraphis embodies the very spirit of the Southern Kingdom—radiant, unyielding, and eternal.

Landskrona Citadel or Landskrona Castle is a fortress in Landskrona, Skåne County.
The citadel is one of the Nordic region's best-preserved water fortresses from the 16th century with a well-preserved moat system. It has also been a prison. Here is both an old dungeon and a prison tower.
The Danish king Christian III decided in 1549 to build a fortress in Landskrona. It was built over a period of just over 10 years as a square castle with four towers and a surrounding moat.
After Landskrona became Swedish, the fortress was strengthened very strongly and in 1667-75 the external defense system was built with the large bastioned earth walls.
