Landguard Fort is a fort at the mouth of the River Orwell outside Felixstowe, Suffolk, designed to guard the mouth of the river.
In 1667, the Dutch, landed a force of 2,000 men on Felixstowe beach in front of (what is now called) Undercliff Road East and advanced on to the fort, but were repulsed by Nathaniel Darrel and his garrison of 400 musketeers of the Duke of York & Albany's Maritime Regiment (the first Royal Marines).
This was the last opposed invasion of England.
The Fort has been rebuilt and remodelled many times and after a long and fascinating history is now owned by English Heritage.

This sign in the stairwell at the Europlaza in Shunyi announces that this is a Common Basement of Underground Layers maintained by the European Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. Beijing.
I believe that the urban building codes require underground parking lots to double as emergency shelters. Many underground parking lots in the city have water-tight blast doors (that are normally open) that can section-off portions of the garage.
At first I thought the doors were to be used to limit damage caused by flooding, but then I realized how silly that thought was: flooding in Beijing?
Best be prepared, though.
The length of the defence walls of Jerusalem is 4,018 meters, their average height is 12 meters and the average thickness of walls is 2.5 meters. The walls also contain 34 watchtowers and 8 gates.
The walls of Jerusalem were built originally to protect the borders of the city against intrusions.
Solomon, King David's son, built the first temple in the city and also extended the city walls in order to protect the temple.
In the 16th century, during the reign of the Ottoman empire in the region, the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent decided to fully rebuild the city walls on the remains of the ancient walls. The construction lasted from 1535-1538 and these walls are the walls that exist today.
