A fortress is a fortified structure designed to protect and defend against attack and can be a castle, a walled city, or any other type of defensive structure. Fortresses are typically built with thick walls and strong foundations to withstand enemy attacks. They often have multiple levels of defense, such as towers, moats, drawbridges, and portcullises. Fortresses also contain living quarters for the defenders as well as storage areas for weapons and supplies. In times of war or invasion, fortresses serve as a safe haven for those inside them while providing an obstacle to the enemy's advance.
