The scary thing about flying over the Citadel is that you're just under the glide path of those HUGE C-17s landing in Charleston!
Located in the Osterport district, this Napoleonic-era fortress was the strongpoint defending,the main shipping channel into Copenhagen.

The Khanzad Castle in Banaman (also called Banaman Castle; also called a citadel) is a historic site located approximately 10 km north of the city of Erbil, in Erbil Province in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The building has not been definitely dated, but is likely mid-late 19th century.
The photos are a quick existing conditions survey of the building. Students from the Iraqi Institute for the Conservation of Antiquities and Heritage will survey the building as a final class project in March 2013, and present their findings prior to their graduation on 7 March.
Can you spot all the problems with this historic building?
i eventually stopped taking pictures of the entrance and went inside. this picture is the light at the end of the tunnel, looking at the buildings that make up the citadel.

تقع هذه القلعة في نهاية جزيرة فاروس غرب الإسكندرية. وشيدت في مكان منار الإسكندرية القديم الذي تهدم سنة 702 هـ اثر الزلزال المدمر الذي حدث في عهد السلطان الناصر محمد بن قلاوون. وقد بدأ السلطان الأشرف أبو النصر قايتباي بناء هذه القلعة في سنة 882 هـ وانتهى من بنائها سنة 884 هـ. وكان سبب اهتمامه بالأسكندرية كثرة التهديدات المباشرة لمصر من قبل الدولة العثمانية والتي هددت المنطقة العربية بأسرها وقد اهتم السلطان المملوكي قنصوه الغوري بالقلعة فزاد من اهميتها وشحنها بالسلاح.

View from the walls of the Citadel in Victoria, Gozo.
Parts of the Cathedral of St Mary can be seen to the left while the tall dome in the distance, almost obscured by the flying Maltese flag, is the Xewkija Rotunda Church.
With a history stretching back 1500 years, the castle has of course been rebuilt a few times. This gateway was rebuilt by the Genoese in the 14th or 15th century.
