Vue en surplomb depuis la forêt du plateau de Roue. Ce fort médiéval du XIIème siècle, est communément appelé "Château Queyras". Sous l'Ancien Régime, il était rattaché à la province du Dauphiné et appartenait au dauphin du roi de France. Caractérisé par une enceinte quadrangulaire, il domine la vallée du Guil depuis le sommet de la butte de château-Queyras d'une hauteur de 1400 mètres. Il est inscrit, avec le piton rocheux sur lequel il s'élève, aux monuments et sites naturels des Hautes-Alpes depuis 1937 et son enceinte, au Monuments Historiques depuis 1948. Il fait partie du réseau "Sentinelles des Alpes" crée par l'association" Grande Traversée des Alpes" qui regroupe les fortifications les plus remarquables, notamment les citadelles de Mont-Dauphin et de Briançon. Petite anecdote : il a servi de décor au film "Le Bossu" d'après le roman de Paul Féval, tourné par Philippe de Broca en 1997.
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool). The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning 'pool.
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault. About 50 kilometres (30 miles) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 km (9 mi) long and an average of about 2 km (1 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne. Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lord of Matignon, Etienne III Gouÿon. The construction of the castle began in the 1340s, its keep dates from the years 1365–1370.
In 1379, following the return from exile of the Duke of Brittany Jean IV, the castle was besieged by Bertrand Du Guesclin. The castle was attacked and taken a second time during the Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century, this defeat marking a time of abandonment of the building. It was not until the 18th century, under Louis XIV, that the castle resumed its strategic interest and was bastioned.

Kongsten Fort is situated 500 metres east of The Old Town.
The fortress was constructed according to the ancient Italian principles of fortification, with high bastions, hornworks, and redans that would provide protection from invading armies. Military strategists understood that, if captured, the small hill would provide an enemy with a raised platform for their artillery, greatly increasing the range of canon shot.

Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.
