- JoachimS 8y agoI think quite few cities in Europe either has some remnants of a star fort solution in their city plan, or a regular star fort. In Sweden the central part of the city of Gothenburg still has parts of the star fort left: https://goo.gl/maps/hsn3fQWB61B2 https://goo.gl/maps/hsn3fQWB61B2 And the castle of Landskrona has multiple layers of star fort shaped moats and walls. https://goo.gl/maps/aAAb2fACJDt https://goo.gl/maps/aAAb2fACJDt
